A while back I made a plan to post to this blog every Monday and Thursday for the rest of 2011. Twice a week may not seem like a lot, but when I’m gathering bits of time to write in between Agent duty or early in the morning before anyone gets out of bed, it doesn’t give me much time to post more.
(Side note: My last post, probably my favorite post ever, has a Saturday date because Blogger flipped out and DELETED it with no warning . . . apparently from what I’ve heard from some other bloggers this also happened to them . . . some sort of system thing. Yikes. I discovered it was missing and reposted it from my drafts file on Saturday morning. And the comments disappeared. Grrr.)
Anyway, I like to prepare posts ahead of time . . . I enjoy writing drafts, even bad ones, and then going back to them, and polishing them up, and making it what I consider “good” writing . . . not just babbled journal-like thoughts. I am not doing that today. This is more of a what you see is what you get kind of post . . . the weekend completely got away from me and even though I have, at any given time, four or five drafts started, I could not manage to figure out exactly what I wanted to *do* with any of them.
One of my “drafts” awaiting a look is about keeping up with resolutions (Thursday’s post will address #4). But for now I’ll just ask: Do you have a “plan” for writing, or maybe reading, or exercising, or whatever your fancy . . . and how often do you deviate? What’s your most likely derail-er of good intentions? The kids? Sleeping in? Working late? Simply not prioritizing Me Time because everyone else needs you “more”?
I tend to get my best “me” time in early in the mornings, before the Agents wake up. Sometimes this means getting out of bed between four and five a.m. (Agent A usually gets up to nurse around this time, so if I can’t fall back to sleep I just get out of bed. Early, yes, but better than staring at the ceiling.)
