Sometimes the universe gives you a kick in the a$$.
Yesterday my chef fired me because he can't trust me to manage the bookstore i'm working in. I'm a pretty spacey and unorganized guy. Most of the time i just read books and ignored everything around me when I'm alone. I can't keep track of what belongs to where and to be honest i just don't give a shit. So its clear that his decision is fair, i would do the same thing. We even had a laugh about it and the whole thing was rather friendly and amusing to both to us.
Somehow the timing just feels right. In my free time i give piano lessons and i really love doing that. But i never had the time to teach more students. So one thing leads to another and i decided to go all in on teaching the piano. I will print a gazillion of flyers and leave them all over the city. I only need 9 new students to make more money than on my job, so it's definitely doable!
My main problem is my messy way of being. What if i can't manage my students, what when i lose track of all the dates and timetables? I see myself falling flat on my nose again when i ignore this problem any longer. But how do you do get organized when you always spaced out, in thoughts? I love to improvise, i love to just "let it come to me", i have a disdain for structure. But on the other hand i clearly see that i would highly benefit from getting my act together, even if i hate it.
So for 2020 i decided to get orderly, clean, organized and structured. This will be a big change. I will take baby steps and try to manage my way from being a spaced out irresponsable new agey artist to become a clear headed, organized teacher.
If any of you guys made a similar transition or are just naturally good at being organized i would be deepy gratefull for any advice, resources, books or other pointers...
I'm pretty excited and motivated and i just wanted to share this with you guys. I hope you start strong into the new year, may your ambitions become true.
Cheers!
