My monthly review for October was very late but while it was late, I never questioned the importance of doing the review. In October, as it has been for the last few months my achievement has been great in three of the four habits I am trying to establish. For the second half of this year, I haven’t been able to fully meet the commitment that I set for myself for volunteering. There are two key reasons for this:
For the second half of the year, I was looking for the perfect volunteering option – one that ticked all the boxes. It hindsight I can now see this was a mistake and prevented me from taking action.
With what I already had/have scheduled for Oct, Nov and Dec and what I know my workload is going to be, adding another commitment of a number of hours a week is not what I need right now.
So as I wrote this review (you can read the full review here), I accepted defeat on the volunteering habit and have let it go until next year when I will re-examine it again and see what I want to do with it. I don’t love this outcome at all and I am disappointed with my effort but to try and push forward for the next three months is not a better option for me at this time. Acknowledging that I cannot do it and letting it go, frees up the mental space and emotional energy it was taking up for me. As the quote states above:
Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.
William James
There really is a heavy weight to uncompleted tasks that can drag you down and affect your focus, emotions and energy. This doesn’t mean I give up on every task that is uncompleted but it does mean that when something has been hanging around for months uncompleted I have to question my commitment to it and the necessity it has in my life.
Do you have an uncompleted task that is weighing you down?
Enjoy the rest of your week!
