One Thing: A Trip to the Library

So, the One Thing thing lasted about well, two days. At least on the blog. I'd like to believe that I've done One Thing daily - even on those days when I haven't been up for doing anything at all.

I paid a visit to my local library - Anythink - formerly known as the Rangeview Library District. It's an amazing place - open, welcoming and you don't have to be silent. Also, they use a more intuitive catalog system - foregoing the Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal systems. This is a little odd to me - they even sort books by title - not author under each category, which took a little adjustment on my end.

I've been visiting weekly since before the holidays, and today I actually took the time to take home a few books - a pair on sock knitting and three business books. I figure I have time on my hands, so I had better take advantage of it!

One Little Work Thing

Today's one thing was to tackle my desk at work. I've been doing it bit by bit for the last two weeks or so, but I have a top left drawer that was stacked with about seven random files of STUFF.

I processed some donations from this week (good thing), sent some paperwork that my national office has been clamoring for (another good thing) and got rid of a lot excess paperwork. Gotta love the shredder.

Now to tackle some MarComm stuff like sponsorship and restaurant recruitment packages. The tasks were good to handle, but now it's back to strategy!

Tonight, I go back to that etsy thing - again. I will get a store set up!

One Thing Starts Today

OK - so I totally flaked out on the "One Thing" concept over Thanksgiving. I figured I'd wait till the first of the month to get inspired.

Today's one thing isn't anything exciting at all. it's actually reactive a bit more than proactive. I ended up getting rejected for something I really wanted today. My one thing was to not sulk (too much), and get out of the office for a walk in the snow and wind. It was slightly refreshing. I have a feeling the part about not letting myself get down about my situation will be a recurring theme, until the right thing comes along.

Tonight, I'll actually sign up for an etsy seller account for Sock Monkey Creations and perhaps knit a scarf for the store!

Also, I posted this late because I didn't get online last night, and Blogger doesn't offer scheduled postings, as far as I know.

One Thing a Day

I came across a blog yesterday, My Thing A Day, and I loved it. A simple concept - do one thing a day that makes a big difference in your life. I'm not so sure about the "big" thing - but I do like the thought of one thing a day that's meaningful to ME.  It could be as simple as applying for one job, or one I really need to do - mail a baby gift to the 5 month old twins I've known about for a year now.

And, it will make me blog. Or it should.

So I think I'll add a page to this blog and do my "one thing." Even if it's boring to my one reader, it should mean something to me!
