Focus

I have taken on more responsibilities this term, all things that I wanted and felt that I could be of service with, although perhaps not all at once.

For whatever reason I feel as if when I am working that I've been doing a better job of focusing. Given that my memory weakens with age and volume of details, I have forced myself to constantly check my calendar to see what's coming next instead of relying on my short-term memory. I am constantly reviewing my to-do list to prioritize what I do.  I always mourn the things left undone but they are not surprising me as much now as they have often done in the past.

This may be a short-term phase, flying on caffeine and adrenaline, so I don't want to rely upon it continuing indefinitely.  For however long it lasts I remain grateful.
