So I’m slowly getting back into the groove at work  (btw, the slowness at which I adjust to change could land a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records), and I reaffirmed for myself today just how bad I am at getting back to important emails.  I tend to flag and forget a LOT.  How do I get out of this habit?

I think what I need is to set aside some time each week to deal with flagged email .. but the sad thing is, I can’t do this at work.  The distraction at work is too great.  I rarely get to work on project work  at work.   This is why (before vacation) I would work from home a lot.  It wasn’t really a chore for me.  I enjoyed it.

Now tho?  I find I am spending way more time working on the house than on work stuff when I’m at home.  This is good. VERY good. Because I not only feel good about work, I feel good about my home too.   I think as soon as all this catch up work I’m doing is over with, I’ll spend a great deal of time on work at home again. OR a new hobby perhaps?   We’ll see.

One thing that will help greatly is that we are working on getting the baby’s room cleared out to turn it into an office.  I still need to sell a dresser, crib, changing table and glider chair.   I’m very excited about a few changes I’m making to the interior of the house.  My goal is just to make it feel more like a home instead of some walls and a roof we live under.  It’s never really felt good to me.

But yea, flag and forget?  This needs to change.  Another thorn my borderline OCD self needs work out of her side.
