I add too many things to my ongoing “to do” list and then feel like I never get any of them done or really “finish” anything. It’s not true, but that is what it feels like. Here’s the list of ongoing projects, outside of actually doing my regular job:
- Close on our new house by the end of March
- Hand off the “Friends of the Valdez Consortium Library” to someone else who is willing to run with it
- Be an active member of the Valdez Consortium Library Board
- Finish the 990 federal tax filing for a friend’s non-profit
- Start and finish the 990 for the Grand Lodge of Alaska
- Be an active member of my lodge here in Valdez (where I am the Treasurer)
- Wrap up getting myself on the Alaska PFD list for 2024. This is the first year we are eligible
- Continue with my weight loss program (which is progressing more slowly than I would like)
- Continue to assist a local non-profit with their ramp up
- Plan some summer travel
- Start to pack up the house for the cross-town move
- Learn Ancient Greek (gotta work the mind, right?)
- Read
- Be present in this amazing environment
Also, I feel this article on non-profit executives. Check it out. Nobody wants to break themselves for the sake of the mission.
