Thank you for your responses about our meeting format. They were divided between two camps of thought: those of us who are unable to attend in-person meetings and are thankful for Zoom, and those of us who would prefer to meet in Reston but know the overwhelming tiredness and anxiety getting to and from these meetings can create, and are grateful for the option Zoom provides.
It is with much hesitation and reluctance we have made the administrative decision, based on these responses, to hold our meetings through May 2025 via Zoom. In June we traditionally go out to lunch and plan to do so again this year. This is an open conversation so feel free to chime in at any time.
- Date: Wednesday February 5th
- Time: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
- Place: Via Zoom
- Topic: Time Management — Getting Through Each Day
- RSVP’s Appreciated!
We’re going to talk about time management. Come share your approach and insights into how you manage your days.
- Working within the limits of time and energy, how do you get things done?
- How do you juggle your daily routine with scheduled activities such as physical, occupational and speech therapy, exercise classes, walking, and medical appointments?
- Do you find time for leisure pursuits like reading or gardening or watching a movie or the latest episode of a series you’re following?
- What about keeping in touch and getting together with family and friends?
A few more questions:
- Are you a Type A-“Seize the Day!” kind of person or a procrastinator, always rushing to finish things up?
- Are you a list maker, finding satisfaction in getting things done and crossing them off, or do you simply deal with things that need doing as they arise?
- How has this changed or stayed the same for you?
- What do you do when symptoms interfere with your best laid plans and intentions?
