Would things still get done if I spent the day as I wanted to?
Well, the fun stuff would get done. And that's what scares me.
I'm still reading through Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman,
Yesterday's meditations asked:
What if things were easy?
Today's was about not being your own worst enemy.
Or what if I was more relaxed about what I do in a day?
It's a challenging thought, as before I read this meditation, I firmly believed that I had failed today. After November's reflection, I decided that in December, my goal was to reduce how much I do a day.
Then I read all night, got up at nine-thirty am and worked solidly until three pm. All on one project. This has now led to me having to do the things I didn't do during the afternoon this evening.
I was berating myself until I read this.
How would you like to spend your day today?
I'd gotten my teeth into the editing process and wanted to continue. So I did. I do have training tomorrow, and I would like to spend time preparing for that, but I can do that tonight and tomorrow. It's not a disaster and I do tend to overprepare anyway.
