Fresh starts – Perpetualized

Writing today

The break is over. Time for a fresh start.

The writing has been a little slow to start this month, but I decided late last month that August would be the perfect time for a fresh start. I’ve had family obligations keeping me busy, and although I wanted to get a lot of writing done in July, it turned out to be unrealistic. OneContinue reading “A fresh start for August”

It’s pretty amazing that my fresh start died so quickly

I didn’t even make it one day. That’s the bad news. (I’ve heard bad news should always come before good news.) The good news is that I’m in the midst of a new fresh start for 2021 and it’s going okay for the moment.

IContinue reading “Self-discipline is a skill: skills take practice and practice takes time”

Funny how negotiable non-negotiable is when you’re tired

Boy was I tired last night. I think I used up all my energy writing up that blog post about resistance because when I was done, I almost fell asleep holding my computer. One thing led to another and I just gave up. I couldn’t even handwrite the notes I wanted to make about oneContinue reading “Funny how negotiable non-negotiable is when you’re tired”

A new month and a fresh start
