Making every day important

This morning I called the recruiter about a job I had a final interview for last week. It's been three working days since the interview so I thought it would be good to try and find out what the situ is.

Well, I'm not feeling so confident about getting the job now. 

Anyway, I went for a run and in the shower afterwards, I found myself thinking about the blog and how I really should have kept it up since we got back, and how even now, there are bits that I need to fill in from when we were away.

I also found myself wondering how easy it would be to go back and work out what I've done each day since we got back. I can go to back to any day we were away and figure out what we were doing from the calendar on my tablet, as I made a brief note each day. But I stopped doing that the minute we got on the plane back from Lima. Why?

I'm sure it's because I felt that every single day we were away was something special, and I therefore didn't want to forget any of it. But being back at home, I haven't bothered to record anything. I' think I realised this morning though, that there can be something special about each day, and maybe when you return to 'normality', you just have to look a little bit harder. It's still worth recording what you did, because who knows when something that happened on an 'average' day might actually be significant in the future.

I think it makes things seem more worthwhile, and especially in my situation, where I'm not currently doing much, it gives some context to the day and can also help you realise that you could be doing much more.

I won't have time today, but after I've applied for a few more jobs, I'm going to go back and note everything that I've done in the last 6 weeks, and do the same going forward. And I'm sure that way I'll be more focused on making each day count, and hopefully find myself in the job I want sooner, rather than later!
