Dear Diary… let’s make time!

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

I want to add some time discipline to my life! As a creative writer I had to create flexible boundaries around my writing schedule. But I would like to change that with some discipline.

When intuitive writing came to me I had to improvise my schedule to make space for the writing and balance the delicate dance between writing time and non-creative tasks. But very quickly I got so consumed in creative writing that I started loosing interest in the non-creative menial tasks of the day, which although time-consuming had their own importance.

My schedule soon got hijacked with spurts of creative writing completely consuming my mindspace leaving no room for much else.

This lack of discipline led to a steady decline in my routine life introducing hours of slack where I could not get anything done, which led to longer days and nights causing sleep loss and exhaustion.

I would like to bring discipline back into my life such that I have designated time for creativity so that the rest of my time goes in other non-creative yet important activities.

They say a new habit takes twenty-one days to fully take shape. So I am hoping to devote the next twenty-one days to create a disciplined routine that has space to live a fully balanced and creative life.
