week 1 recap
At first, I thought my quick choice of morning pages as my first thing was too easy.
I’ve done morning pages before so I knew I could successfully complete my first week’s thing. And, with the exception of the one morning I was so focused on finishing a project that I completely spaced off morning pages (probably because writing morning pages helps me get really focused), I was successful.
Looking back though, I realized that this week’s thing wasn’t about the morning pages. It was about making a choice, taking action, just Doing. Something. Already. And being ok with not finding the perfect thing before taking action.
So I’m happy that I wrote my morning pages first thing every day because I felt so much more balanced, focused, and productive last week. But I’m even happier I recognized that I was pondering perfection when action was much more useful.
Will I continue writing morning pages? I’m going to make a concerted effort to continue, but I won’t beat myself up if I don’t.
