Lost Time

Having Bipolar 1 means that sometimes I lose time. Today, I opened up my planner that is absent with activity for the past 2.5 months. While it is upsetting to see the detour from my goals, I can choose to dwell on the lost time or pivot where needed and pick up where I left off.

Pivots

Language

I’m going to pivot from my original goal in language study to learn Latin. So, instead of other languages, I’ll prioritise Latin in the coming weeks. I haven’t worked on a language in several months so it feels a little impossible, but I think pivoting is a good idea to start fresh.

Goal Selection

I’m also not going to schedule as many goals in my 90 Day Goal Plan since I’m recovering from mania and some depression.

Picking Up Where I Left Off

I haven’t worked on research, or my book on maternal psychosis, due to mania and depression so I will review my notes and pick up where I left off over the next 90 days.

I’m not going to set the goal of publishing my book in the next 90 days. Instead, I’m going to set the goal to get research done in 30 days and spend the remainder of the 60 days writing.

Concluding Thoughts

While I’m sad that I didn’t reach all of my previous goals set for the first 90 days of the year, I did accomplish some of them and hope to achieve more in the next 90 days.
