I nearly forgot to make my post tonight. I ran into a bout of strange and unexpected success today in a few of my endeavors. I managed to secure some editing prospects, 4 potential jobs, to be exact, as well as potential for central american travel. I will share the details with you as my plans develop.
For now, I will say that I have completed more in the past couple of hours than I have in the past few weeks. I wrapped up 3 editing samples and sent them off, as well as finishing up two outlines for a DVD project I have coming up in January. Exciting!
Gurdjieff called “tomorrow” an evil god that will eat up time and effort. Many times tonight, I attempted to pray to that god. My challenge, and my discomfort tonight arose in facing down that god and getting all my work done tonight, instead of waiting until tomorrow.
Somehow, though, I manage to pile on enough stuff to make sure that I never quite feel satisfied and relaxed. So, now I am going to relax and get some sleep. I will resume the Captured Moments exercise tomorrow.
Here’s 3 ways to defeat the Evil God Tomorrow:
1. Ignore it and keep on working.
2. Stop, have a snack, and keep on working.
3. Put off the act of putting off your work.
See you tomorrow!
