Getting things done...

So for the past week I have been thinking about how to proceed in this little endevor. I have been reading this passage everyday trying to familiarize myself with who this woman is. The first thing that jumps out to me is basically that girlfriend gets stuff done!! How she can manage her enterprise, make her own clothing/bed linens, care for her household, and still have time for the poor and needy is something I definately want to understand better. I certianly aspire to being multifaceted and able to juggle such a packed schedule. "Her children call her blessed and her husband praises her." Isn't that what everyone is striving for?! I think that I really allow myself to feel overwhelmed and I feed into the mindset that I am accomplishing much when really I am only reaching a portion of my potential productivity. Sure, modern life takes time. Sitting on hold with a company, traffic on the highway, commuting, etc. I experience these time wasters on a daily basis but really find myself leaning on them as a crutch to explain why certain things are not getting done. When in fact, I am simply allowing myself to be idle because I think I deserve it. When certain tasks are tough, physically or mentally, I mentally convince myself that I don't/can't accomplish another thing because I have exhausted my energy stores or I have already done enough that day. P31 certainly doesn't think that way. This woman wakes before dark and burns her lamp well into the evening.
Does this mean that I should spend all my waking hours working or cleaning the house? No, I don't think so. I think that this woman enjoys her time with her family. For me I think it means that I need to finish projects as they come and do things now instead of procrastinating. I will be putting this mindset into practice over the next week and report back...
