It’s also made me realize something important: there’s very little slack in my routines. When something unexpected happens, it puts every item on my plan at risk, so I usually tighten my jaw and borrow time from other things, usually sleep, to avoid falling behind. But unexpected things happen all the time, so this attitude keeps me in a constant state of overdrive. Has done so for years, actually.
I don’t know what to do about it yet. But I can certainly appreciate any productivity system that would help me arrive at this kind of realization.
I would love to see a follow up post about this.
