A week ago, I felt generally behind. On Friday, even more so.
It has not been a week of order and routines.
The good thing is that once focus strikes, it does not take that many hours for me to get back on track. I feel pretty much there now, almost back to where I want to be and certainly a lot closer than I expected even yesterday.
I am tempted to write something like "the system works", but I think that would only be half true at most. The system holds things which need to be done so that I can, hopefully, focus on finishing one thing at a time without worrying about anything else completely falling off the wagon.
So yes, the system does work, but me doing work is what makes me feel caught up.
Sorry, talked about producitivty systems again. Drink, or something.
Cubeism
It might seem hard to do, but I did manage to screw up my first overnight charge session with the Anker cube. For a first-time user, it was clearly possible to not extend the watch shelf quite far enough, and so the watch did not settle properly onto the shelf, therefore not charging. Funny how easy it is to miss the fact that the watch is not displaying its charge indication when you expect everything to be in order.
The cube also has a surprisingly strong light on its "back", which comes on when the Airpods space is in use. By no means blinding, but enough that it annoyed me a little when I started thinking about it, and I elected to not charge the pods overnight. There will be some masking tape coming for that light shortly.
It still sparks joy though, no doubt about that.
Halfway between the gutter and the stars
This post brings me to the halfway point of 100 days to offload - 50 posts in 50 days. Being me, I could of course not help but set a slightly higher target for myself, one which I have actually failed to reach. I keep wondering how I might deal with that going forward, hopefully the answer is that I eventually just drop that question and get on with my life, but I will not let that deter me from celebrating the halfway point. Writing does good things to me, and posting regularly definitely brings up more and other thoughts.
But I also have to say that it will feel relaxing to not have the reminder to post something pop up every single day 😊 …
