How are you structuring your life now?
Many years ago, after taking a course called 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I started planning out my week using an agenda. Over the years I have adapted a shorthand that helps keep me on track throughout the week. My agenda looks like this.
It’s pretty simple really and covers everything from sleep to daily exercise and even prayer.
I found that just writing down what I planned to do in a weekly agenda did not help me to do the things I planned. The agenda helped me to keep track of my meetings ( which as a pastor is important, you don’t want to be missing funerals or weddings), but as far as the big rocks went (the disciplines of everyday living I valued like prayer or exercise) just writing them on a weekly to do calendar did not help me prioritize them. I found it too easy…

Well I am only three days late IN SHARING MY WORLD. This is the challenge where our hostess, Melanie, asks four or five questions. In answering them we, her contributors, share our worlds. Get it?
Anyway you can find out more about Share Your World by clicking the link above and going to Melanie’s site.
Here the questions and my answers:
What do you do to get rid of stress?
I pray a lot. I guess that means I must carry a lot of stress. Oh and I nap. I love naps.
In the past people were buried with the items they would need in the afterlife, what would you want buried with you so you could use it in the afterlife?
I am planning on getting new everything in the afterlife so I won’t be needing the broken stuff I had here.
What’s the opposite of a koala? (this is strictly for fun. I know what I came up with as an answer, but it was nonsensical. Alaok. See? It’s okay to pass on this one too if you want)
Let’s see Koala’s look warm and fuzzy so……
What’s the creepiest tech out there? (My interpretation of “tech” is app or program. If you know what “tech” is supposed to mean, hey! Great! Educate us.
This looks really good for the purposes it describes, but the idea that all our currency and economies will be controlled by satellites owned and operated by who? Well that just sounds very weird and super Terminatorish. I am glad they did not call it SkyNet.
GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE
What method are you using to find your smile right now? Please explain in detail so others might utilize the same ideas. Some bloggers have shared a daily (weekly sometimes) method that they are using to keep their spirits up right now. I’d love to hear from anyone who does and is successful at it! Have a great week and stay safe!
As I said I pray a lot. I am also connecting with a lot of people on line. Finally I have planned myself a fairly rigid schedule of activity: praying, exercising, housework, church work, art and writing….and of course eating.
If that doesn’t work I watch these:

We are making a new space. Are you?
I’ve had a revelation: The world has changed. That has changed the Vicarage. It has also changed everyone who lives in The Vicarage.
My life before the shut in was busy. My life “shut in” is also busy but it is filled with different things and a different kind of busyness now. This busyness feels slower more evenly rhythmic than the busyness from before.
Now that I am mostly recovered from pneumonia my days start early again and they have fallen into a repeating meter: I walk and feed the dogs sometime between 4 and 6 A.M. I pray for an hour or so. I have breakfast with the Fam. Then I do chores until noon. At noon I make lunch for Mom and the Fam and we eat together. I pray again. I take a short nap or do some more chores depending on my level of weariness. I…
