Transitions

Dear Conscience,

I spend too much time on transitions. I think this is where my delaying tendencies have accumulated now. After lunch, I decide to solve a crossword puzzle in my dad’s news paper. Or I decide I have to walk the dog. Or I play with my daughter.

I must say, all of these are better quality ‘delays’ than just scrolling on my phone. So it is still an improvement, I’d say. But I do have to make my schedule more ‘airtight’ if I want to start getting things done, and then having intentional quality moments with myself or my family. I think the intentionality would improve the quality of those times further. And it would reduce stress from the unintentional backlog building up and spoiling future potential moments of serenity and togetherness.

Sincerely,

P.
