Progress Isn’t Linear

Dear Conscience,

I don’t know what to tell you except to repeat that progress isn’t linear. I do still have high hopes for my ‘phone as a tool‘ policy. I didn’t follow it strictly enough today. I didn’t let go completely, this is important. But I did spend more time on my phone than what my rules allow. And while today isn’t a fully wasted day, I don’t think this intention will work unless I hold it up as law.

I also just found different excuses to postpone starting to work, I feel tired and unmotivated today. But it’s only 2pm, I still can save they day somewhat. It won’t be a stellar success, but I won’t let it be my downfall either.

Many days will be just like this, many more than I’d like. I just have to limit the damage on those days, create more productive days where I make progress, and hope that one day, life will not feel like playing catch-up.

Sincerely,

B.
