LET'S REALLY TALK ABOUT IT
Today I decided to do work at this new coffee shop. I’m currently writing this piece to Paramore’s album entitled “Riot” (my second favorite next to Brand New Eyes, I think). People are watching me jam as I write and I really don’t care because this kind of experience is my comfort zone and I don’t mind bringing attention to myself in my world, y’know? I should be leaving now so I can make it to my next meeting on time but I think I can make it if I leave in 10 minutes.
If you’re like me, nothing excites you more than new things. We get bored pretty easy but we appreciate stability in the things that do excite us. We like to be strategically spontaneous. For example, as soon as I get a new idea, and I’m confident it’ll work or I won’t experience more consequences than I plan, I’m going for it. I used to struggle with procrastination but I think that’s because I got too comfortable with the environments I was always doing work in. Doing work at home doesn’t always work because sometimes I will convince myself that I can do work in bed, and find out that is absolutely incorrect. Sleepy friends raise your hand.
I eventually found out that I was in the mix with other productive people. I’m naturally a determined ambitious person so I don’t have a problem getting work done when I really want to. However, there came a phase in my life where work always seemed so… ugh. The sweet spot is giving myself enough time to do all the “free time” things, then lock in and get the “real” work done. I make sure I have a job that allows me to work from anywhere and create my own schedule outside of when I have meetings scheduled. It’s pretty efficient for me. I was working remote before the pandemic even started so I got used to the idea of being anywhere getting work done, and truthfully this is how I got my work done in college. Even when I was doing something last minute I could knock it out if I was somewhere that motivated me to do the work. I did a LOT of studying and work in the library. I’ll never forget there was an entire week I spent like 3 whole nights in the library. I watched the sun come up in the personal study room before my Chem exam. What a time.
Misery Business just came on, and you know what I just thought about? I’ve always wanted fire red hair like Hayley. Now I’ve been a red head for the last 3 years. Literally watched my wildest dreams come true in the last year. I’m so grateful man. There were so many things I wanted in my life and I’ve gotten most of them. Not to brag, I’m just saying I’m giving God the credit for giving it to me. God it feels good!
