I woke up ready to rise and shine
An early start seemed to be a sign
That I would be productive, or so I thought
But the day passed, I did not accomplish a lot
There was just so much that I wanted to do
I wanted to work hard and have fun too
Work, read, write, socialize, be creative
To each task attention I wanted to give…
But once again life got in the way
Of my having a highly productive day..
*
In this month, the last month of the year
I had aimed to expand in every sphere
My 31-day goals were quite lofty indeed
But unfortunately my expectations did exceed
The reality, and circumstances were such
That I could not accomplish in this month very much
I could blame it on the holidays, therefore the slow pace
Or the unseasonably cold weather that we had to face
But in truth I could not be equally industrious every day
I had to take many breaks along the way
*
The end of the year beckons, in a panic I find
The goals for this year that I had defined
Are far from being accomplished, though I had 365 days
I should have been able to catch up before time flew away
But unexpected occurrences made me deviate
From my path, thus I could not empty my plate..
*
Days, months and years go by fast
If only somehow I could make them last
Just a bit longer in order to complete
All my goals, life would be sweet..
This is what I used to think, but now
I wonder if I should give myself slack and allow
Me to lighten the burden of expectations in such a way
That I accomplish the most important projects every day
Continue this strategy month after month and year after year
And make steady progress in each sphere
