A Rather Productive Sunday

Today I decided to change my approach to things.

I wrote down what I wanted to accomplish and set a deadline for myself.  I labeled the heading of a notebook paper: "Quest Log" and wrote: 

• "Complete 2 sections of math before noon."  

I then folded the piece of paper up, put it in my pocket--and went through my daily routine of fixing myself scrambled eggs and toast. 

Something changed in my head. 


Something was definitely different as I started cooking myself breakfast.  I was actually thinking about homework and how much I wanted to get started on it to finish it in time.  At this point I realized that as long as I set a goal for myself--a visually attainable concept--all I had to do was follow the arrows to the best of my ability. 

Fastforward to noon--I got it all done.  It was pretty damn incredible because I forgot what it was like to really sit down and just do work.  It was very satisfying.  The truth is, I haven't been trying at all in school.  I haven't really been working.  I haven't really been living my life to the best of my ability and I feel as if a drastic change is called for.  I'm going to change.  I'm going to write down what I need to get done.  I'm going to start setting "Quests" in my log and actually visualize what needs to happen.

I need to start living.

I need to start being.

I need to start now.
