Devotion, not discipline is the secret to sustained action
The Devotion-Friction Matrix of devoted action has four states:
Flow (high devotion, low friction) where action feels natural and repeatable;
Strain (high devotion, high friction) where caring is high but the cost of doing it is high too;
Coasting (low devotion, low friction) where you keep going mostly because it’s easy;
Avoidance (low devotion, high friction) where the task feels both unrewarding and hard to start, so it gets postponed or completely dropped.
This is a perfect visual to the state of play.

Charlie is going back home today. Will finally be able to sleep in again.

R is back home after surgery. Went & visited him today. Played Mario Kart against him, D & Y. Pretty smug about kicking their asses despite not having played on console in years.
Hoping D decides to take Charlie back soon. Walking him has devolved into seeing which of us is faster at reaching edible street junk. My sleeping neighbors were treated to the echos of me swearing at him at 7am this morning as I tried to wrestle a chicken bone out of his mouth. #DogLife
I'm suddenly back to sleeping through the night and waking up at 6:30am before the alarm. Not sure what fixed my circadian rhythm. Whatever it is, it's excellent because Charlie needs to be walked four times a day starting at 7am to ensure no in-house disasters.
Y is coming over after school to visit, then I'm helping her with homework. Cleaning the apartment until then. Will attempt baking sugar cookies.
