- How I Stay Focused
-
Like many people, I have a hard time staying focused; especially if my focus is supposed to be on something I don't particularly enjoy. Take cleaning. Or packing. I *hate* packing up to move. The only hope I have of staying focused on what needs to be done is by making lists and setting a schedule for myself. (www.rememberthemilk.com is awesome for online list keeping.) I like structure in my day. Now that I'm not working, I really miss it. The trick is to create my own structure so that I can accomplish all that I need to in order to make this move in a few weeks without leaving a total mess behind!

Last year, I decided to go back to school. Because I had essentially failed out of UNC-Chapel Hill more than a decade ago, I had to bring my GPA up before I could enroll in a university program. So I applied to community college. And was rejected. Turns out the rejection was due to a paperwork error but I didn't figure that out until months later. In the meantime, it was a kick in the pants. I realized I wanted to be back in school full-time, and I wanted to go somewhere outside of the U.S. It had never occurred to me before that going overseas was a viable option. I did some research, made some applications, have just quit my job of six and a half years and am about to move to Ireland in February.
