254. Timer: Set a timer for 5 minutes and just write. Don’t worry about it making sense or being perfect.
I have been “retired” for 2.5 months and although I’ve been traveling a lot, I don’t feel at a loss for not working every day. I still feel like I’ve too much to do and not enough time to do it. One of my major tasks is to clean out the garage because I don’t want my kids to have to deal with my stuff after I die. A GF who’s mother passed away 2 years ago assured me this would be the greatest gift to them. I get it. My grandma passed in 1987 and mom passed in 2005 yet we’re still dealing with stuff. I wandered into the garage yesterday and there was such a feeling of overwhelm that my initial reaction is just to close the door and walk away. I’m not sure of the system I’ll have to create to get myself to do this. Maybe take a box on a Monday and resolve to deal with it completely by the end of the week? There will be decisions and research to for each box. Bleh.
