Kaizen today!

Hi there,
My usual Thursday post was posted today due to technical difficulties. Episode 9 is up! Have a listen.
On Thursday morning I woke up and intended on posting my podcast first thing. Well, that plan went south quickly because my computer was not working in a functional manner. It took over an hour to boot up and I still couldn't open my web browser. Needless to say, I had many computer-related tasks to do, not including Kaizen with Jen, and this put a major dent in all that.
All my documents are backed up, so that was not a concern, but I started panicking wondering how long my computer was going to be broken for, or what if I was going to have purchase a new one?!
My tech savvy father interjected and started doing scans to figure out what the problem was (which ended up taking over 6 hours!).
What I was left with, was a large gap of time that I had planned ahead to fill with work. Now I could not do my work, and I was literally at a loss for things to do!
I realized in this moment how much I relied on my computer, and it made me wonder what life was like before computers.
Well, I made a new plan of attack to get my work done, but none could be done immediately. So I decided to use the time for things that I usually push aside from my schedule because I don't think I have time for them.
I took a relaxing shower after I did a pedicure for myself. I had a great cup of tea (in a real mug - not a travel mug!) and cleaned up my room. I did a few loads of laundry and I organized my papers and books. I made some phone calls and wrote in my journal.
I felt great by the end! The only thing I regretted, was that I did not sleep in! But once I was up and agitated about the status of my computer, that was no longer an option.
Anyway, my point to you is that once in a while we should turn off the technologies and tasks that we are involved in and think about some other things that we neglect to do for ourselves, that are still very important to our lives (obviously a pedicure is a rare luxury for me, but very necessary!!)
I hope this blog finds you in a great mood.
I wish you a fabulous day!
