Busy

In the past couple of weeks I seemed to have unexpectedly and completely booked myself solid. I'm learning new chekere skills, learning a new version of a song to present to drum camp, composing my own song, working on two versions of my taiko class (plus teaching them), coming up with thoughts on where I'd like Maze Daiko to go, trying to keep up with the 30 Days to Better shime regimen (I am still a few days behind and lamenting the fact that I can't keep up), working towards re-heading our practice drums at RCW, oh and did I mention, working toward the August 2nd version of Ghosts and Girls? Plus I have to find time to do the physical training for my upcoming trip to Sado. And then I have my job. And find time to clean the house and eat and sleep (in that order???).

But I am finding that the best way to keep sane with all these goals is finding ways of making it happen while at the same time finding time to relax and not feel too stressed about it. That way when I do allot time to something then I am not stressed out about achieving a particular goal. It's all about the journey, not the destination. I wish I had time to go into all of that, but heh, it's late, and the cliche will have to do. Be process oriented, not goal oriented. There.

I am busy, but it's all good. I like it. I get so much more done with the pressure, and I like getting stuff done (does that make me goal oriented??).

But phew. It's midnight. I just finished dinner. Before that, 4 hours of taiko. I think sleep is next on the agenda. I'd like practice chekere but I know that the I am the only one in a 3-block radius of me who wouldn't find it annoying at this late hour. Plus I'd like to eventually make sleep a priority in my life. Ha.
