I have been somewhat busy with work the last couple days. And the weekend was busy too. But in a good way. Not work, but fun stuff, luckily.
The site fell into the category of "things I want to do, but I don't have the time now", which reminded me of one my all time favorite images (in their category, at least):
What other things are in this list of things to put off? Of course, all the ones good for me:
exercise, sleep, meditation...
Finally yesterday, after fixing something in a work file-processing-nightmare, I decided to
use the time I had between script runs to exercise. And now I am using the time in between
meetings to post.
Not because I think of an audience missing my biting commentary, but because the experience of writing is good for me. It makes me focused, it helps me reflect a bit on what I am doing or not doing. For example listing things I am putting off up there reminded me of my alleged commitment to meditation. 😄
I am one of those people that does well "talking through" stuff. Explaining a line of
reasoning, or my feelings on something, helps me get to conclusions I wouldn't get to
otherwise.[1].
And the site gives me a chance to do that, maybe not for every single topic (given its public
nature) but it helps me stay committed (because of its public nature).
Anyway, I think I am getting to the end of this topic, but already have TWO more posts on the tip of my fingers. Which feels great, and kinda of confirms the idea that writing is good for me.
