Amidst a chorus of barking dogs and churning air conditioners I write through the Phoenix night. It isn’t the wisest of times to find the words. Last night was another nail in the coffin of the theory that I can still be productive at that point in the evening (of course, that time frame is way beyond evening). Part of being the best version of yourself is making the best choices you can make, and writing during that time frame clearly isn’t one of them.
Instead of doing the not so bright stuff–i.e. doing what is easy–I need to re-jigger my focus on doing what is wise and helps me grow as a human and keeps me grounded. That is so much more easier said than actually done. Unfortunately there isn’t ‘one weird trick’ to help me out there. I just gotta grind out some serious hard work and stick to a schedule.
It also means reducing the hours of video games played to a reasonable number. This is, of course right when I’ve picked up the new Madden… such is the way life goes sometimes and perhaps the way life should go.
Some Thoughts:
- I’m considering putting together a kitten obstacle course in my office. These little ones are completely ready to play and have fun. If a mesh garbage can is entertaining them then an obstacle course ought to be super fun. I’ll involve the boys. They may have some cool ideas.
