I thought this was going to be the question about camping.
In going with the flow of things and not in the mood to argue with the back button or a recalcitrant mouse, I am going to stay here and write about productivity or the best times of. It helps when I have little goin on inside my head, when my workload is minimal and my mind is at peace. Then I can really let rip, do a whole ton of stuff and finish the day with a big stack in my out tray and nothing in the in tray. Most of the time, it is not like this, some days it is even worse and other times. Shall we just say meh. The human mind can find all sorts of obstacles to trip itself up with, other times, it can navigate around them and perform wonders, then the next day there can be a total collapse and there is no fuel to feed the furnace, to heat the boiler to power the engine to shit. At least that is the case with me. other than that, mornings can be a pretty good time, the caffeine is at an adequate level, There are carbs in abundance and there is a bit of get and go. It may sometimes require a pit stop or two, but a lot can be achieved in a short space of time.
Its after doing this little lot, that the trouble often kicks in, hanging around in limbo, not quite siure of what to do or worse how to do it. Like right now, half of me wants to go for a swim and another bit wants to trawl ebay fopr something or other, then there is the garden, frsh air and nature. Perhaps I ought to get myself out more and not just outside. More out of my comfort zone and go exploring or something. The weather is certainly agreeable for such an activity, so why not? It’s just a matter of knowing where to go. Nothing in this paragraph so far is relevant to the main question, but so what. Swapping my painting times around might help a lot. As would yanking my finger out and doing more on the self promotion front. Saying all of that does not help and puts me off further from doing things. I should be kinder to myself and remember I only have a certain number of spoons for each day and being harsh with myself only uses them up and leaves me exhausted and unable to do much. The same applies with having to deal with toxic people and idiots who don’t appreciate peopes basic needs.
So back to productivity, does it align with creativity or is it purely to do with things like admn, house tidying and other banal shit? I am going to include writing and sending birthday cards, or letters of any kind for that matter. Even buying stamps, is turning into a trial, especially when the previously blue sky has gone grey again. Then the cat gets in the way and everything grinds to a halt. I have not done so badly today I have applied for jobs, I don’t have a hope in hell of getting. Stroked the cat and have watched some porn. The only thing I have missed out on is the news, though is no big loss as they say. I will get this card out of the way and post it, and either go for a swim or just come home and start being creative. I am not in much of a mood for anything else
