Today for Wishcasting Wednesday Jamie Ridler asks us "What limits do you wish to set". What a great question and it is so true that you can not do it all.
This reminded me of a conversation I had yesterday. I was talking with my friend Jeff and he asked if I was working on a story. I told him not right now. I went on to say that I was working on filming an online class and I really needed to put all my focus on it. As a result I have to let other things slide. So often I have so many things going on at the same that very little gets accomplished. I have had to step back from doing what I normally do.
I set a goal for the project and I am going to fulfill it. I decided on Sunday that I would finish filming all the videos that I needed by the end of the week. I have a good start on accomplishing that goal because I did limit myself. I have done less art and the books I am reading I put on hold. I really think that setting limits is essential to complete a big project in a timely manner. To date I have 9 video's recorded and have about 6 more to do. I know I can do it.
Do you set limits for yourself when you need to?

ReplyDeleteSo true that we have to put some things on hold to accomplish a goal, wishing you much success..
As you wish this for yourself, I too wish this for you. ~M
ReplyDeleteGreat limits Kate! We cannot go through life without limits - IT WOULD BE CHAOS! LOL. If we want to accomplish anything, we need limits.
ReplyDeleteFor me I have to limit myself to the amount of time I work on a piece, for example... because I am just recovering from surgery and still have fibromyalgia I have to limit myself to about 15-30 minutes a day.. over all this makes me much more accomplished as I don't hurt myself. Thanks for sharing your limits
Hugs and blessings
As you wish for yourself, so do I wish for you as well.

ReplyDeleteI love that your post makes setting limits seem not only positive, but doable. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.
ReplyDeleteI do set limits, but the mistake I make is putting the important things in to the exclusion of creative things. I have enough so-called "important" things to do that I would never create, read, play, or have self-care. I need to work to move the opposite way, more towards play. Good for you, My Queen, for setting positive limits, xoO
ReplyDeleteAs Kate wishes for herself, I wish for her as well.
ReplyDeleteBravo for the focus on important goals for yourself. This is one I struggle with often. I also sometimes struggle with putting my own goals before the goals that I feel other people want me to accomplish. This is getting better though !
My limits need to be put on food intake and on computer time !!!
Enjoy the filming process !
Hugs !
Congratulations on all the work you've accomplished on your goal! As you wish for yourself, so I truly wish for you also!
