My Two Notebooks

My friend taught me how to use two important notebooks. The first one I use to write down my plans for the day. List all your tasks for the day and then rewrite and leave only those that you need to get done. Make sure that you add one important thing that is not urgent. Because it will build up something for you long term.

My second notebook is my gratitude journal. I write down all the things I should be thankful for the day. Believe me, blessings outnumber trials.

I have my third small notebook. My inspiration notebook. I jot down here books/articles I read which recharged me. I write here my books wishlist as well and how I can get these wished-for books.

Notebooks? For writing and reading. For remembering and appreciating. For keeping things in order and for keeping things real as they should.

When Tasks Seem Overwhelming

I have many different habits when I am overwhelmed. One is laughing, singing, and dancing like crazy.The other one is keeping still and quiet. How do I decide which reaction to give when I get overwhelmed? I do not know. Whatever comes first. But there is one thing I remind myself when I am overwhelmed. I remember to thank God that He is giving me an overflow of anything that He gives me. If the overwhelming thing is joy, oh, what exuberance! I love my life! When its tasks, as I feel tired (yes, I let myself feel tired, because its natural and its human), I thank God that He gives me opportunities to have things to do and accomplish.

Oh yes, I get frustrated. A lot! Especially when I begin to notice that I exert more effort than others does. Not that I begin to dislike them or become irritated with them, but because I begin to feel sad for the "project"per se that it is not given as much attention and effort as it deserves. But since I am the type who, when able to express pain forgets about it as fast as it struck my mind,  things just fall properly into place.

Right now, I feel a bit tied. I asked myself, which is better, that I am overwhelmed or I do not have anything to do at all? Of course, I choose the first. I am as well overwhelmed, right now, with joy that can come only from serving the Lord. For rest, I am getting some nice nap after publishing this post. What else can be better than this? (''o)

Who Am I in the Internet World?

I have been a blogger since 2008, a VA on 2011, and now an IM-wannabe. So, am I a newbie or not? Yes and No. I am not a technical person, meaning if you ask me what is the difference between html and html5, I will just smile and give you a high-five, maybe. Same with other computer and internet terminologies, do not talk to me about it. If I really need to know at least what it stands for, I'll ask Google. But never ask me, please, how to use whatever it is. So, I just write. That's what I can do. Am I good at it? Don't compare me with Shakespeare or Elizabeth Gilbert or  Bo Sanchez or Archie Inlong, I guess I am fine. And yes, I can educate you on things I know. That's why I give VA seminars and VA Distance Learning modules. So, I can say I am a writer and an educator/trainer.

I am basically a typical person who just click on anything that catches my eyes. I read articles that seems interesting. I laugh at jokes and weird status written in FB walls. I comment on well-written posts. I share what I can share to others. I ask questions to virtual people willing and happily answering my queries. I try not to make my eyes roll, like I usually do when I get annoyed, when I stumble upon people here who snobs or tends to brag a lot. I am just a typical "virtual human being", just like anyone else here, newbie or not.

And after this post, I can be more, or less, depends on what the situation calls. I will enrich what I have today.
