Busy, Busy Bee with a Vision

The Vision took over my Busy Day!  Have you ever had a day when a vision just came over you and you have this plan of action that needs your attention? Not later, not tonight, not tomorrow, but right now. Your Busy, busy day just got busier.

The vision could care less if you are in the middle of doing 5 to 10 things already, it wants to take over your whole brain until you stop and write it down, type it out and get started on it.

If you think about it, that isn’t all that bad.

You can remember the days where you were looking for things to do.

As a blogger or a writer, having a plan to focus on is a great thing. This one is a challenge that I had known about for a time, but for some reason today, of all days, it just overcame me.  It was the excitement of being busy I suppose. But before I tell you what it is I need to set you up and get you on the same frame work of where I was when this overwhelming idea flooded my brain.

Vision Overwhelm

Imagine sitting at your desk, getting your to do list of things laid out. (Of course your list is full) Got it… OK, now open three email accounts, two websites, the word program, outlook, and google drive. Also the phone needs to be ringing and two text messages need to be addressed.

Now that you seem to be organized and ready to get things done, because that is your intention, you come across a comment someone leaves.  Knowing that is not on the top of the list you go ahead and read it anyway. It was good and you really appreciated it, so you replied only to find another post. It was a reminder of an upcoming challenge.

Even with all the things you had planned, you look into it a little harder.

After getting so excited and saying to yourself that you should have done this sooner, you start scrambling to find a notebook to right something down. Which of course was hidden under the other pile. Finally you jot something down and as it lays itself out on the paper in front of you the vision enfolds and you say “wow” this will help me out with this project, and this project and this can clear up this mess and go through this mess.

Just from one challenge.

Vision Enfolds

Now, can you see why I had to stop and right it down!

The challenge is a way for me to help teach and train others on key points of what I am learning.  It gets me a whole month of ideas and planning. It will kick me in the butt, and puts the flow of thinking back on track.

    Yes, so wise to write a great idea down even when your extremely busy because if you don’t do it that moment it won’t be as good. I know from experience. Thanks for reminding me.

    Hi Sandy,

    At times, my To Do list is so long that I get distracted with something that catches my attention. Though I try to distribute my time for everything. Thanks for sharing this wonderful post with us! 🙂

    Dana, it doesn’t always help. Life has been spinning lately and many challenges are springing up. Too many things on the brain.

    Yes! I often start doing my list, then end up doing other things that are just as important. I’ve actually just read another blog post about this challenge. Sounds fun!

    I often have ideas pop up in my head and I have to decide if I need to remain focused on the task at hand or allow myself to veer off course. I love keeping a notebook close to jot down those random ideas to grow when I have time to devote to it

    Wow Sandy,

    26 posts, hats off to you. That will certainly keep you busy.

    I do love when we get an overwhelming idea that really just needs our immediate attention to write it down. When my ideas are on paper, it is only a matter of time before they are actioned. And I certainly have learnt not to trust my memory with regards to ideas. Glad you’re inspired and motivated, its catchy.

    Rachel.

    This is a really great article and I love how you wrote it. It’s something to have an inspiring idea just take over and need to get at it. 🙂 Glad I’m not the only one!

    Hey Sandy,

    Yes, I do know what it’s like to have your whole day planned out and have something show up in my mind that takes over because it’s THAT inspiring.

    I’m glad that in your case, what showed up only helped you to get the other things done. I don’t see it as anything other than serendipity. 🙂
