It’s rough to feel like you’re not getting stuff done and even more rough to realize that you’re not getting stuff done because of some crazy weird mental block.
Well, actually today, I think I’m going to speak about some of the good that’s happening. I’m starting to feel really good about my days, even when there is a little stress involved with work or some other reason. These tiny little pockets of time that I’m carving out to develop some good habits are starting to feel positive, I think.
Another thing I’m proud of is being okay with disconnecting a bit. This means unplugged from the television and other various devices as well as social media. As a person who wants to tell stories through motion pictures, it’s been easy for me to make the excuse of “I’m doing research,” or “this is good for me.” The binge is good but I’m able to step away from it now, and not feel guilty or upset when I don’t get to watch anything. I think the trick is to be replacing that habit with some others that has been feeding my soul and starving the ole ego.
This includes:
- Spending time with the wife
- Writing in this little medium journal
- Getting tasks done that are important and not procrastinating on certain things
- Involving myself with the movie making process, most notably screenwriting
The week is almost over and I hope that tomorrow is a better day, productivity wise. I think there is a mental block with certain things and I need to just push through. Eliminate all ways of potential distraction, focus and get shit done. The prize is almost here; a good day off, a good day of shooting and then some good R&R with the Wife.
Cheers,
