A new day. A new chance to succeed.
I might be insane.
I keep doing the same things over and over but expecting different outcomes.
I keep thinking "if I just tweak this or twist that a bit, it'll be great."
I keep building the same foundation in the same shape from the same materials.
It never lasts.
Am I building with straw because it's cheap and easily replaced when it collapses?
Am I insane or simply recognizing my limits?
I hope you find a better way your day #today
@nlowell The question is, are you working at capacity? I went through a very long period where my maximum capacity was at best 5% of what I was accustomed to. Even now I rarely hit 100% of my old baseline.
I don't (or at least try not to) measure my day against my former self anymore. I ask if I have used the available capacity on the day. Frequently the answer is "for the most part". That has to be sufficient.
A great insight. Thanks.
In my experience which I call a rut, finding some tiny new thing has helped. And even then, day after day I fail doing the tiny thing until my focus on failing breaks into doing at least part of the tiny thing. That usually blossoms into continuing and doing the whole tiny thing. And the biggest, best part that really makes it work is the joy I feel having done it. That feeling takes me past the resistance when it is time for a repeat performance. --Usually, that is. Never Always!
