Establishing a Routine around Clutter

I haven't written in a while, and I miss it. So I may just start up writing in the old blog after a long hiatus away. There's a chance this may even be read by someone else looking for something to read online, though that's not why I've kept this blog. I've kept it for me, and I keep it semi-public as a measure of accountability so I feel motivated to write something, once in a rare while.

 

During this pandemic I'm thankful to be alive, healthy, awake, employed, married, and relatively content. I do miss freedom of movement without fear of getting sick, but this feeling shall pass. I don't enjoy wearing a mask, so perhaps that's a good motivator to just stay the hell home. I'll wear it if I need to, don't get me wrong.

 

I do want to get a bit more routinized . I don't have many intentional routines I follow, and yet I'm a relatively orderly person. I do think being intentional about routines may help me stay focused at work and in various aspects of my life. It may start as just stretching out or, gulp, exercising in the morning, to just rituals on how I keep my at-home work space clean and orderly. I can live with a lot of clutter, as I've mentioned like gazillions of times in the history of this blog. That's a blessing and a curse for me. I enjoy being orderly, but it's not a requirement for me to be productive. So I end up ignoring it, but it makes me a bit blue to see the clutter. Not a productive cycle.

 

Anyhow, time to get to work today, here at my safe, albeit cluttered, home audience. Hope you enjoy your day.
