Just a Snow Shoveling Day, plus a Perfect Day

Yesterday, we were hit with a big blizzard and everything in ND was pretty much at a halt. I saw one map where about 95% of major roads were closed due to the high gusts (40-50 mph plus) and some continued snowfall. 

I shoveled first thing in the morning, not knowing what the schedule would be for my work at the college. The college was first delayed to 10am, then later cancelled for the day. 

I should have went at least once or twice to clear out what drifted over, but on the bright side, it made such a great workout this morning. . Sense my sarcasm?

I will probably have to get out once again if the plow comes through, as there is a nice high drift in front of my driveway.

I spent over 30 minutes shoveling, making for a heck of a workout on its own.

I imagine I have another round or two ahead of me, so I'm saving myself for later.

With the whole day off from work, I did spend a lot of time organizing my home and also doing some self-improvement reading by reading Craig Ballantyne's "Perfect Day Formula". 

I realized I'm not that far from the schedule of it, as I get up each day rather early around 6am, get my workout in first thing (just enjoy that feeling), work on the blog here, then I'm set for the day at work. I typically have time to spend in the evening doing things I enjoy, like taking in sports events or watching my favorite shows (loving all the CW superhero lineups!).

A lot of things pertained to business goals and objectives, and having some basic rules to live by. 

Some see rules as restrictions, but really, they can give you that freedom. The structure they provide gives you a framework of solid decisions to make and adhere to, which keeps you focused and therefore, gives you time for the things in life you need.

Craig gave a great personal account of his two different lifestyles, how one was previously a scattered day of activity, while his current time is scheduled and devoted to certain things throughout the day.

I try to keep a similar structure to work, as my previous job was one where I had to keep things moving along on a structure, due to classes starting and events happening at certain times of the day within a school.  Even though I work at a school now, a college, my job is more office-based and at times, on the time schedules of the schools I visit.  I feel the previous work as a custodian and being able to direct certain work during certain times of the day allowed me to get used to the scheduling of school visits in 2-3 different schools within a day.

All in all, it was a great read and was only $9.99 on Amazon Kindle.  I got it finished at various times throughout the day, maybe spending 90 minutes on it. I also spent some of last night going over my goals and plans on where I want my blog to go and how I will help people with it.

I was pretty excited after finishing it, I ended up doing a quick Live video on my Facebook page last night. I talked about the Preferred Customer membership option with AdvoCare, so check out the information here: PC Membership with AdvoCare
