I am looking at a 24/25 planner and the inside cover reads: Enjoy Every Moment. That’s a hard task these days, but it is certainly a message that bears reminding. I don’t, you know. I tend to find moments but they are sparse and often spread out between days of dealing with kids who’ll never leave (or help out) or chauffeuring other kids who act like this is in fact my singular purpose in life. What I am trying to do on the heels of yesterday’s decision to ramp up production is to lay out my writing goals and learn a little bit more about myself in terms of wha makes me happy (beyond hanging with the lady and playing video games).
Writing is a pleasure. It is also harder to do when I am unfocused. Part of the exercise of planning goals is to generate focus. It is a major thing to do and to consider. It also might be the key to all of this. I am at my best when in the flow. I am in the flow with deadlines and goals. So, onward to the planning part now.
Some Thoughts:
- The bright side of blogging first thing in the morning is the sense of accomplishment I get knowing that the one thing I am required to do every single day is done. Of course, then it sinks in on me that there ought to be more things I am required to do on a daily basis. Then I allow myself a cup of coffee and a chance to forget what I just thought.
- Getting married. There, I said it. It’s out in the world now!
