Mornings should be peaceful. And they usually are in the hours I’m up experiencing them. When I’m on vacation I found my normal rising time somewhere between 4-5 am in the mornings. That is a quiet and peaceful time.
My better half likes to sleep in so if I’m up and at work early at that 4-5 am hour, I won’t be taking away our together time. After that, the schedule is yet to be developed but I do like to start the day with as little chaos and as peacefully as possible.
There is a good chance I might even incorporate a mid-day nap if I’m staying up late doing evening shooting or out with the boys. I’ve read that a regular sleep schedule is good for the body and especially the mind. After decades of not having one, I think I can confirm that statement is true. I feel like I’ve taken years off my life working such an abnormal schedule.
So I hope it’s not too late to change that feeling and pattern for the better. At least we will finish the right way.
Here we go
One thing I know about publishing is consistency works. I’ve been anything but consistent when I publish posts. I’m all over the clock because of my crazy schedule now.
So starting in 2024 I will try doing morning and evening posts daily. And roughly the same timeframe each day in addition to trying to find the sweet spot in people’s viewing times but also so they know when my posts are regularly published.
Plus it will get me on a schedule of production and up and out the door each day my better half and I are healthy. But I’m a person that when an idea strikes I don’t like waiting on it so I’ll give it my best shot now for the two weeks remaining this year while I’m still working full time.
Which means I have a lot of work to do in the middle of the holiday season. So as the plate below says.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- I hope that I’m too busy living experiences instead of sitting around telling people about past ones.
- If the music you’re listening to doesn’t move your shoulders and hips, you should find another tune.
- If I could tell my younger self something important it would be to have more confidence in myself. Not that I’m not still working on it at this advanced age.
- Having close friends over lifetimes is like making great music together.
