You Will Never Get It Done!
Do you have too many things to do? Is life pulling at you in all directions? You need to eat, sleep, work, pay the bills, meet the expectations of others…play, do you even have time to play? Well now you can relax because…you will never get it done!
When I was in my early twenties I was running my own software business and I was working 50 to 60 hours per week on a regular basis because there was just so much to do. I kept thinking when I get this list of things done I can relax. I got more and more stressed out as I watched the weeks and months roll by and the list kept getting bigger not smaller. So I worked harder and longer until one evening I snapped!
Can you relate to this?
I was up working past midnight, as I often did, and I accidentally deleted an entire folder of important software I had written. I picked up the keyboard and slammed it down on the desk. Discovering that I had broken it I screamed obscenities while I pounded it with my fists. I had promised my client this software update in the morning. What was I going to do?
I had been meaning to backup this folder but I kept putting it off until I got another more important task done. Now I had a broken keyboard. I had a very sore throat, wrist and hand. And I lost more than a week of work! I threw myself to the floor in a heap and began to cry.
(There WAS much more to this blog but it has been removed…
see details below)
Click here to read the comments left by those that read the full blog. You will see that MANY people found a lot of help in the content of my blogs. Unfortunately I had to remove the content of most of my blogs for the reason stated further below.You can continue reading my blogs by joining my relationship healing group, the details of which you can find at http://RelationshipAdviceSite.com 
By joining my healing group you will get…
- The Ultimate Guide to Relationship Healing a four hour Audio Program.
- All of my blogs.
- MANY hours of additional Audio programs.
- Live Tele-Classes given by me where you will have the opportunity to ask your own specific questions.
- Access to my coaching via email just like you have seen in my blogs on MySpace.
Why did I Remove my Blog Content from MySpace & gr8Wisdom.com?
I spent more than a year doing free spiritual and relationship counseling on MySpace. If you review the comments on my blogs (which I have left intact for you to review) you can see that I have spent a great deal of time, covered a lot of topics, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HELPED BY MY ADVICE. I have really enjoyed it and thank all of you who have participated. Many of my friends have touched my heart very deeply. I love you all!
Unfortunately doing it for free has resulted in me not being able to write new blogs or serve as many people as I would like too. Doing it for free has caused me to maintain a fulltime job with not enough time to coach those people who want and need the help I have to offer. By charging for my services I will eventually be able to quit my job and do my spiritual counseling work full time.
My blogs really do contain all you need to know in order to live a healthy and happy life and the live coaching I offer in the healing group fills in the gaps. Please consider joining this group today. http://RelationshipAdviceSite.com

Wow. Perfect timing! I know exactly this feeling, of never getting it done… one time when I was poor and in college, the only work to find was as a temp job working in the local cheese factory or fitness equipment assembly plant. I would put 8-10 hours in late at night standing on my feet at a conveyor belt while cheese log after cheese log came whizzing by, requiring me to scrape it… or while machine after machine would require two wires to be twisted together. How crazy monotonous that was, but it was so stressful to me because I just wanted it to STOP! I wanted there to be an END to it all. I laugh now because those machines are probably STILL going down the conveyor belt, and I am not there.
Seriously though, as a professional, I was a multi-tasking queen and really could get a ton of work done. Now, as a Mom to twin toddlers, I barely have time for a shower and I am once again learning that there really is no end to the stuff that we do. Now I enjoy the stuff more and try to finish it less.

I agree that we should change our focus away from getting things done. If we ever did get everything done, the rest of our lives would be very boring!
We need to understand that what is happening while we are doing all these things is that we are living our lives. If we focus only on the end result - on that mythical day when we have finally achieved all this stuff - we will find that our lives have gone by without us noticing.
Thanks for adding me at Blog Catalog - I will reciprocate…

What a joy to come to this on a morining of feeling overwhelmed!
Thanks for all…including the add at Blogspot.
And a question…almost, but not quite, tongue in cheek… have you considered an anger workshop? Okay, okay…working on it right? Just want to be sure you, and anyone with a “temper” like that aren’t around animals, children, or other people and losing it that way.
Nixzmary Brown (http://select.nytimes.com/mem/tnt.html?_r=1&emc=tnt&tntget=2008/03/19/nyregion/19nixzmary.html&tntemail1=y&oref=slogin) is only one of many good reasons for doing whatever necessary to bring anger under control…or stay away from those who might suffer because of it. At least 4 - 5 children, most under 4, die each day in the US as a result of child abuse Stopping it may never get done, but we should each do what we can, beginning with learning to control the temper. Yes??? And of course from all I’ve read so far here and at the other post today, your teachings contain all that is needed to begin that process! I don’t just believe that, I know, because I’ve worked on it for 40 years and am still improving.
Thanks again!
A Child is Waiting.
Take care…be aware.

PLEASE NOTE: the blog says NEARLY 20 YEARS AGO actually it should say 25 years ago…I have come a long way baby! It has taken much effort to reprogram my self around the issue of anger. Still small flare ups occur but it is VERY rare and they last only seconds or in some cases minutes. And God keeps giving me plenty of opportunities to test my change in programming.
I had a small blow up a couple of weeks ago. The one prior to that would have been FOUR MONTHS AGO. This is a huge change for someone who used to blow up daily.
