Yesterday’s blog is living proof (because nothing is ever gone from the internet) that multi-tasking doesn’t work for me. I was listening to these ghost stories, you see. I had a ten minute blog and a ten minute video and I thought that might go well. It did not. I kept looking over at the video to catch sight of the alleged apparitions. I just don’t do well with split attention. This is something I’ve known for a lifetime, but I keep on keeping on. I suppose there are things about oneself that are extremely hard to change. One of those things for me is the tendency to put health last. I probably should be in the gym right now. However, it takes longer for the gym to show effects than it does for me to write a novel, so guess where it ends up on the list?
We are not quite to the resolutions list that is sure to come, but I do think it is important to ‘pre-game’ and strategize the important changes in life. I’ve been thinking about what that looks like for me moving forward. I may be retiring soon–2025 is the closest option. So, how does that change the game? On the one hand it hurts the wallet, but on the other it gives me more time to sink into who and what I want to be with the rest of my life. I’m not really sure who that is. I’m going to plan the what with my partner, and I am learning each day that this means more than–let’s do what you want, love.
