What do you say to us starting again? In a world of excuses, we must choose to do the hard thing. We must choose to do what we are being asked to do. If I refuse to make a choice, that is a choice. Why does this matter to you or even me? Today, I am rededicating myself to knowing who I am, what I am, and whose I am. I forget things. I lose track of what should be done. I get lost in moments and ideas that seem to lead nowhere. I would like to think I have some excuse, some problem like ADD, I could point to, but in the end, does that even matter? I can let my circumstances control me, or I can choose to own who I am.
So today, I will start to document, discover, and build what I need to do the work the Lord has asked me to do, even if I am the only one who looks, sees, or uses what I produce. I may have failed in the past, but today starts anew. I am standing again, refusing to go down as I journey through this. I currently use Notion for tasks, notes, projects, goals, and milestones—half-written and half-paid attention to. I must make it a habit. I have built some automation around my systems, trying to wrangle contacts, birthdays, and all those things, yet I still drop the ball. If it is not in front of me, I lose it, which is why some people receive texts at strange hours of the day from me.
So today, I set up a Telegram bot that I can ask what is for me today and tomorrow. It is plugged into my calendar, email, Notion, and Airtable contacts. It is the start of making this work with a daily email of what I have to accomplish each day. Yet, how do I include what God is asking me to accomplish as well?
Well, such is this journey. Let's see what is next.
