Important and Urgent

15/6/2025

​This is later than it is mostly. 
This one will be a rare occurrence as I was helping to organize a Bunnings sausage sizzle.  So Merril and I were at Bunnings at 6am.  We are home now after helping with the set up of everything and ensuring all was under control.   There is a Pastor David that seems to thrive on this sort of thing and he has ensured all that was needed was available.  All looks good and helpers are enthusiastic.  The roster is organized, and all the food is ready to go.
So Merril and I have come home.  She has an event later in the day and after both of us have had a rest we will be doing respective tasks we have in mind to do.  I spent yesterday morning clearing out an area that had become over-grown.  I hope to move the garden beds to a different location.  In them we will probably grow vegetables andplant some stuff for sale at our market.
In the area the garden beds were I hope to return it to a small rock covered area and make that a pot plant area.  That’s the plan anyway.  we are also hoping to get a green house today.  Bunnings are supposed to have then but when I looked the area for the one we are after was completely bared.  It was obvious Bunnings Morayfield had sold out.
I looked at the James Clear email and the question asked was the thing that got my attention. “What's weighing down your backpack that needs to be released?”  He had said that so often things can hinder us that are more urgent seeming than important.  The thrust of the backpack story was ensuring that we were not carrying more than we should.
Author and Journalist Min Jin Lee summed it up when he said, “"I heard … that the definition of self-control was to choose the important over the urgent.
Often, I've wished that I could've had quicker success, greater financial security, more respect, et cetera, as a writer. For nearly twelve years now since leaving the law, I have often felt ashamed for wanting to be a writer and doubtful of my talents.
What helped in these moments was to consider what was important, rather than the urgent feelings of embarrassment and helplessness. What was important is still important now: to learn to write better in order to better complete the vision one holds in one's head and to enjoy the writing, because the work has to be the best part."
A rest approaches.
