07/21/19

I'm finding it more and more difficult to discipline myself to carve out time to sit down and write.

Around halfway done with my second summer off as a teacher. I spent June in the Pacific Northwest and July has been very limited in an attempt to recharge the savings since the June trip and in anticipation for the July Colorado and Vegas trips mixed in with wanting a new car at the end of summer.

This feels like a rut.

These summers are in a way strange. I have this belief that summer offers so much time and so many possibilities that I end up not doing much of anything.

Should I sit down this morning and write? why should I, I have all summer to do that.
Should I wake up early and head to the gym? Why not when I can go later?
Should I read this book, I can always start it tomorrow, I have all day

Before long summer will be coming to a close and I won't have much to show for it other than potentials and possibilities rolled over into the next summer.

Deadlines and start times are beneficial.
I know a lot of people consider me disciplined but I feel differently, there is room to improve.

I need to start writing more and I need to get more organized with this free time. I love summer, I want to get the most out of it.
