i’ve got a problem. and i didn’t realize it until i was reading stock.henry’s latest posts. i am way too focused on the rest day. it’s a point of contention between shanima and i on a semi-regular basis. she never knows how to relax and take a day off, and i feel like the day off is part of the reason to work so hard on other days, as if it’s something that is earned. and maybe it is earned, but it shouldn’t be the reason for doing anything.

a day off for nothing, with no plans. why do i want this? i have so many things that i want to be doing, so really the day off in my mind is a day when i have no obligations to anyone so i can work on whatever i want to for a few hours. and then i can just veg out and binge watch some stupid show that shanima would never watch with me. i don’t think there is anything wrong with this per se, but the truth is, i don’t have time for days off. not if i want to meet my goals for the year.

so i’m taking a vow to stop prioritizing the rest day and the pursuit of nothingness. because that will only bring me nothing. i’m already running high octane, but i can do more. gotta step it up if i want to get to the top.
