Writing requires patience, dedication, and organization. None of these parts lead to success without the other two being fully operational. My personal Venn diagram suffers from a startling lack of dedication and organization, but I do remain ever patient. What I think I’ve learned from my patience, is that I need to stick to it more, and I need to be more organized on a daily basis. Lately, as I know I recently mentioned, I have locked in on a daily schedule that has me moving through tasks, checking them off, and returning to them the following day. It works for me. What I need to do now is dedicate myself to this level of organization and not go overboard or get too fancy or intricate. A simple hand-written list works. No tech needed. No fancy bells and whistles. I have made this mistake in the past. Once you start tinkering with a simple and easy to execute formula, the entire thing falls apart.
Some Thoughts:
- Kid drove himself and his brother to school today. I followed to make sure everything was good with the 27 year old car he has. It was, though I want to look at those tires a little closer when he gets home. He did okay. Some issues on the highway, but he wasn’t reckless or speeding. He needs the practice. He will get it with these daily drives to school. It is a big moment for them all to be independent from me in this fashion. Loving it. Still, I am a dad and I worry. Let’s see how he does making it home entirely on his own.
