I truly do have a lot going on at once. I am most aware of this when I find myself clearing things off my plate and not actually noticing that there is less on the plate. As a result I have decided to do a lot less moving forward and give the proper level of attention to those things I do commit to doing.
This is not to say I show no attention to the work I do. I put in a ton of effort each and every day, but at the end of it I am exhausted and that makes just relaxing and enjoying an evening less advantageous, because all I want to do is sleep. So, the plan is to perhaps over organize my time in a way that provides me with a clearer sense of daily accomplishment and drop the number of things I do and just do the things that remain quite a bit better.
In other words, I am going to devote more time to the family and to the words respectively, but shift around some of the ways I devote that time to the family. I can’t really explain more about that until I know more about what it means myself. I’m seeking a professional opportunity that is going to redefine how I use my time to begin with and that is going to shape a lot of things moving forward.
Some Thoughts:
- Somewhere around the start of paragraph two I started babbling.
- Even before that I was moving so quickly across the keyboard that I started making a ton of mistakes and having to go back and fix them over and again. I would like to hit a speed where errors are not a problem, but I can still capture my thoughts.
- Maybe dictation is the key there?
- Monday Night football is happening and so is Fitzmagick! I’m excited to see him winning 14-0 in the second. I am less happy about it for fantasy purposes.
- Tonight I am taking the kids to a haunted house. Turns out I’ve never been to one myself. I’ve gone to silly school ones and the stuff people do in their homes, but this is the real deal with the makeup and effects and oh the horror. Halloween is days away and I’ve yet to really get into the groove of things.
- I might be an afrofuturist. Just saying…
- One without the capability to manifest an afro. Sadly, just saying…
- I miss Peter King’s MMQB. As I spoke years ago, it inspired some thoughts, and I have long strove to live up to that level of coolness, but am still efforting to get even close.
- Perhaps the best part was his not-so-random cofeenerdness moments where he wrote about the delightful coffee and coffee spots he discovered on the road. That could be a site all on its own. I’d read it. Presently speaking all I do for coffee is the home brew mashups my partner concocts and a crap ton of Peets.
- Last note: I love writing. Even when I have nothing to say.
