Experience tells me that the crazier things seem to get, the more I will strive to put things in order. This week has felt quite chaotic as I explore new things and build a collection of &#8220;to do&#8221; items. There are decisions to be made, tasks to perform, and entertainment to be enjoyed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I gathered reminders of all the business-related obligations from renewing my licenses, memberships, and maintaining various certifications. At work, more meetings leading to more tasks mixed with another presentation proposal accepted at a gathering of professionals in my field. On the hobby front, new toys and skillsets to be learned are keeping my free time busy. It feels frenzied but a lot of it all is preparing to wait for the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Order Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When things begin to swirl like this, I often forget to step back and take a breath. From a different vantage point, I am not quite as busy as it seems. Rather, the chaos is a collection of necessary items to which I must attend. Once resolved, the chaos is swept aside. I will find myself moving ahead at a healthy pace. The momentary chaos will lead to order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least for a little while. Maybe even a day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inherent Danger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is two-fold. One one hand, the chaos may help me forget those things I want to do. On the other, the order may result in awkward &#8220;to do&#8221; placement. This inevitably leads to chaos later on, but I can mitigate it if I take advantage of the order now. Ultimately, it is this cycle that keeps me going. Without order, I feel like I get nothing done. Without chaos, order is meaningless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, thus, the clear skies give way to clouds that build into storms that both destroy and give life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, a different take on that chaos I went on about last time.
