Reflections on the week

I started out the week reading Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", which talks about planning one's week in advance according to one's driving principles, roles, and goals. So far, so good.

Monday - cleaned the house, did most of the laundry, worked with the kids to make birthday presents, and prepared a birthday dinner for Cassie. After all that, the kitchen was clean.

Tuesday - Took an 'office' day which means the boys went to daycare. I did some unemployment sundries, post-door64 contact processing, and finished up the laundry. I also took the kids to soccer practice, ney coached the dang soccer practice. I was tired.

Wednesday - man, I got a lot of stuff done today. errands, lunch with a buddy, fixed the commode and applied 4 coats of sealant on the kitchen table (way past due). I also got started on Mint for our finances and I baked an apple pie! It was delish by the way. Ate some after I got back from choir practice.

Who says being unemployed is restful? Besides, I start back at Alterpoint as a consultant tomorrow, working Thursdays and Fridays. Should be good.

The point, is that the seven habits book is coming in pretty handy. I like the ideas a lot. I like the positive psychology. I'm going to keep reading.
