Thinking about thinking more

I could be overthinking this

For the first time, I’ve thought about taking a day off, regularly. A Day to really just get away from it. All of it. No dailies, no commitments to things, nothing on the docket but some reading, music, and straight up relaxation.

Maybe once a month, or every other week, or every week.. I don’t know.

First I thought: It never works out perfect

It really doesn’t. The idea that you could always do anything at the same time everyday is a bit crazy. I workout everyday, I do this writing, all those things. I never do them at exactly the same time when things get crazy though. I can’t. Life just gets in the way of it all.

Then I thought: Why should I care?

Perfect? Why perfect? Why exactly 11:00 everyday when 3:15 works out so much better for that day? Why should I care about perfect?

I’ve never been a fan of letting anything be sub-par but I’m all for things getting done, especially when the alternative is nothing at all. The amount of thought and care I put into this writing, for example, is nothing compared to a new design. Despite that, I’m confident that if I didn’t do this everyday, I wouldn’t look at my life like this even once a week, if at all. So I write, everyday and it works. Not perfectly, not even throughly everyday. But I’m now trying 7 days more a week then I did before. I like my chances of getting results.

Now I’m thinking: Why haven’t I decided yet?

So everything above says one thing: do it. So why haven’t I yet? Why not pull the trigger?

Despite indecisiveness being something I hate with a passion, I haven’t thought out the details yet. What about weekly? Would I be able to pull that off? If I choose Sunday when do I do Pres stories? Do I move Pres stories and try to change it up so they get better? (I think they’re worse).

So many questions.

Here’s what I do know:

• I’m tired.
• I’m determined to get this done.
• I’m determined to get 10 other things done by Monday.
• I’ll get all 10 done by Monday.
• I’m going to sleep.

The things:

• Edit the 800+ photos of Preston I took Saturday
• Upload the best for all to see (Facebook)
• Order a couch
• Get home (awake)
• Find some courage
• Find a camera bag (and not order it yet)
• Setup a budget goal for the camera bag
• Predict Jan expenses
• Determine what work will look like next week
• Make the decisions mentioned above
