I don't usually teach on Fridays, but I figured that since I was meeting a friend earlier, I would already be out of the house, so I scheduled a lesson with a student whose email I missed and therefore didn't get her in earlier in the week. Then, since I had one student, I decided to let another come to do a makeup for one she forgot.
My friend had to cancel. The student I owed a lesson to because of my mistake cancelled.
Now I'm leaving the house for 1 lesson that technically I would get paid for even if I didn't allow the makeup.
I'm trying to change my attitude and look forward to this lesson. She's a good kid and rarely misses which is why I allowed the makeup in the first place.
I want to teach this lesson.
I want to teach this lesson.
I want to teach this lesson.
I want to teach this lesson.
I want to teach this lesson.
I want to teach this lesson.
I want to teach this lesson.
(It's not working.)
OK, let's try a new approach.
While at school I can do my own practicing and sing some amazing Poulenc and Mahler.
While at school, I will have a large quiet place to do some Tai Chi and Qigong.
If I get my butt out of the house I can stop for some yummy food on the way home.
Now I'm slightly more motivated, but still need to write a note reminding myself: DO NOT schedule lessons on your day off. You need the time to relax and recharge.
