[fifteen] plus eleven … the “important” stuff can wait

centaur 0

… still falling behind. But I’m not giving up on getting back on track. The key problem is making sure that time is carved out in the day for blogging, taking walks, taking care of yourself; once you start to let that slip, six months have gone by and you haven’t posted. And when you have a TODO list two inches thick, it really is hard to make sure you carve out that time … it’s easy to trick yourself that it’s much more important to get the “important” stuff done … even though, sooner or later, you must do “unimportant” things like laundry. Building new habits is like doing the laundry … the world turns, and so must the dryer, and if you don’t make time for it to get done, you’ll be sad when it doesn’t.

Call your wife, take a walk, post on your blog. The “important” stuff can wait.
