Late submission for April 20th

So on Wednesday, April 18th (we had to move our normal meeting time since Kelly had an interview) I sat down with Kelly and told her about the disaster the previous week. She was encouraging but firm and helped me get back on track. While the project of cleaning up and re organizing seemed daunting at first, because I Had established a system for organizing it wasn't too bad. Two hours later, I was back on track towards my goal. It has been really empowering to be organized. Since my disaster last week I have made the decision to wake up a little earlier in the morning and do at least 15 minutes of taking care of loose ends around the house. This has been really empowering because it has actually shortened my morning routine. Normally I spend a little time looking for something that I had lost in the disorder. Because I am organized now, I know where everything is and can find what I need for the day. It is amazing to me the amount of time I save by investing a little time into being organized.

Because this is my final journal entry I would like to take the time to thank Kelly who has been an excellent coach. I have improved so much on my two action items for the semester. While I still have a long way to go, the meetings with Kelly really kept me honest throughout the semester.
