EOW Time Tracking

I think floundering a bit in the daydreamscape last week helped me focus again this week. No, I don’t want to become a singer-songwriter. No, I don’t want to pour all my energy into TTRPGs, just a small portion. No, pursuing writing for comics is not the focus. Right now.

It’s like these energies need to be herded and brought into one steady focus, put them in tandem on one target. They get diffuse and scatter whenever the target (getting SFF short stories published) hits a wall. I get it. That’s life. And SBOs abound. And our brain makes beautiful logical justifications for the shift in direction. And then time passes and you’re nowhere further along. Nice people like to argue that dabbling is fine and you learned along the way. But that has never been the formula for any of my successes. Hyper-focus has been.

So as the summer draws to a close, as C-Chord gets back to school and the schedule becomes rigid again, let’s hyper-focus again.

As I wrote above, relatively calm on the homefront. There’s a sea of chaos outside this ship though.

I got a new chair for the home office. I went with the autonomous.ai. I have two at the coworking office and I trust it. I didn’t want to spend $600 on it, but at the end of the day, I also didn’t want to spend less than that on an unknown quantity. And I definitely didn’t want to spend more than that on an unknown quantity either. The Herman Miller at 1500 has got to be as bullshitty as Mont Blanc. Riding on brand.
