Procrastination
Might give focus modes and calendar blocking another whirl to get over yet another lengthy period of procrastination.π
Trying to grab a routine once it has fizzled out is something Iβll always struggle with. π
Right then. Now Iβm back using Micro.blog as my primary hub, Iβll spend a few hours tomorrow making sure everything is up to date (reading list, etc). ππ»
Hoping the upcoming week is more conducive to garden work. ππ±
My health hasnβt been the best of late, nothing serious but enough to warrant me needing to hit a reset button of sorts. Bad diet, not enough exercise and now a chest infection knocking me on my arse. Had plenty of false dawns, but itβs time to start taking the initiative. πππ»
Iβm neglecting this place of late through no other reason than Iβve gotten out of the habit. π
Making a concerted effort to get my health back on track again. Put on a stack of weight, lots of overeating due to boredom and poor mental health. Iβve also been avoiding exercise and took the reopening of my favourite trail, which has been blocked by trees, as a sign that itβs time to grasp the nettle. ππ»π
Havenβt been spending a lot of time on Micro.blog recently, which Iβm beating myself up about because I started the year with such high aims. Nothing I can do about the missed writing except to try and pull myself out of the fug. π»π
Still farting around with my desk setup. π
This is the most discombobulating time of year. π
Finally added a bit more information to my blog today. ππ»
Itβs a full-time job trying to keep up with reading/TV/movies/podcasts. I know it sounds pathetic, but it starts to overwhelm me at times and I end up consuming none of it as a result. π
I am ruminating on cross-posting once again. I wish there was some simple solution, I know the Fediverse makes it βeasierβ but it by no means means makes it βeasyβ. π»π
Got up at 6am, walked the dogs, breakfasted and relaxing with a coffee now. Good job, Benji. Good job. ππ
Still, tomorrow is another day and all that. π
Iβm kicking myself for not getting up at 6am to take the dogs out for their walk. 8am rolls around and I canβt help but think βI would have been back by nowβ. ππ
For the first time in months, maybe years, I feel Iβm approaching a state of being in control of my days rather than becoming overwhelmed with everything I need, and want, to do and ultimately doing nothing but eating bad food and mindlessly watching television while scrolling on my phone. π
Up at 6am the past two mornings to get the dog walk done and dusted early doors. Horrible going out at that time, but great to get my exercise completed before the day starts. πππ»π
Going to take a break from procrastinating today and upgrading to some good old βmoochingβ. π
Will this procrastination never end?π
