Projects

I'm a big project person. Ask my husband. Ask my children. Ask my friends. I think projects are great ways to vision, set goals, stay active, and accomplish tasks. However, I have always been guilty of over-committing myself.

This past weekend, I got three major projects off my plate. Great, right? One would think! But I have three more major projects already in the works, and I decided over the weekend to add some home improvement projects to the mix.

So, am I a project addict?

I wonder what would happen if I make it a "project" to reduce my project list?

I read something last week (yes, I like to call it my "pleasure/edification reading project") that reminded me that it's okay to have multiple dreams, and it's even okay to multi-task, but it can work against us to have too many projects going at once.

So, my goal for Lent is to set some real limits on projects. I hope that will allow me to spend more time in prayer and service, to spend more time with my family and friends, and to be more focused on the projects I choose to pursue.

The other projects? Oh, I'll still finish most of them. Just not right this minute.
