A Productive Bath

Tonight I enjoyed a long and productive bath. This may seem like an odd choice of words but hear me out.

It was productive because I did not bring my phone (on purpose) and forgot my Kindle (by accident). Dreading my bare toes on the cold bathroom tiles kept me from slipping out on a quick retrieval mission.

The timing was particularly good as I had recently finished some thought provoking non-fiction books. This was a perfect opportunity to be alone with my thoughts and digest what I’d read.

The key realization is that I am not focused on creating energy and continually repeating habits that I know drain energy. Reflection revealed most of my excuses are invalid. Those that are valid can be overcome with resources I have access to.

The time for excuses is over.

A reworking of priorities as in order.

This new blog will serve as a form of self therapy. I will document goals, barriers, solutions, and hopefully progress.
