I haven’t meditated since my mother died nine months ago. Not really sure why. My apple watch tries to get me to do a minute now and then, but I’ve averaged less than five minutes a week.
Having cleared time, with the social media abstinence, I want to actually use the damn time in some ways other than procrastination.
Lots of research shows tremendous bang for the buck with really trivial interventions in lifestyle. A little walking, a little mindfullness. I want to try to use some of executive function to do this, to see if I net… more executive function. I want to try this before I do a month of Adderall.
I am avoiding head-on approaches (word count; time at the keyboard) that don’t work long term; I want to want to do my creative work, and to be able to keep at it; I want to create an ecosystem from which the work flows without painful, unsustainable effort.
Expect a daily post about this now. You lucky bastards.
