Distractions

I sat down yesterday morning and worked on my To Do list for the day, but it wasn’t long before I decided I really needed to go to Hobby Lobby to see if they had what I needed.

That was my first mistake. They didn’t have it, but instead I ended up wandering around the store. Afterwards, I went home, grabbed the broken item (which was the reason I went to Hobby Lobby to begin with) and took it back to Michaels. I’m not sure why I didn’t take it with me the first time. Maybe, deep down, I really didn’t want to work. So now, with broken item in hand, I went to exchange it. Afterwards, I went to JoAnn fabrics to wander around that store, too.

When I finally made it home, I couldn’t find the needed motivation to work on anything. Instead, while I had already woke up late, I also decided to take a nap. I didn’t even have the motivation to watch TV. I just felt very unfocused. I had no attention span. I struggled to even watch a 5 minute video. Watching TV was out of the question. Sitting down to work at a computer was a no go.

I’m sure that I could have fought it, but I decided not to do so. I just let it go. It was not a good thing.

Recently, I started another business (outside of the 12), and I didn’t have the kind of response I thought I would, so I became depressed, and I think this is what led up to what happened yesterday.

Today, I have a different purpose. I did some reading last night. I went back through 3 years of journals, and I realized what I needed to do. That involves work. Unlike the year and a half that it took me to get where I was, I have insight to know what to do quickly to get results. (I’m thinking I should take those journals and write a book) Anyhow, today is about keeping my nose to the grindstone and getting the work done. I can rest on Saturday and Sunday like normal people!
