Racing thoughts

Happy Monday.

I like Monday mornings, because they give me a chance to plan out my week and create a vision for what I want to accomplish.

It’s important for me to constantly reflect, because my thinking takes off on me. It’s like a runaway train.

Even as I write this, I’m struggling to find a direction, because there are so many thoughts all going in different directions. So this Monday morning is a chance for me to itemize some of the excess thinking I have. I don’t know where to start. This will be messy.

  • I don’t have time to do all the fitness activities I want. I want to be able to …

    • train muay thai daily

    • have mobility sessions to fix the tightness in my hips, my ancles, my shoulders and basically fix my broken body

    • strength train every morning

  • I need a sales rep for TimStodz media

    • The newsletter is growing, and I have sold ads the last 6 weeks in a row, but it’s not sustainable for me to do the sales myself.

  • The Bootstrapper needs to be improved

    • I have to call April today to figure out how to add more community features

I don’t have go go any further. I know what my problem is.

My morning routine has gotten all out of whack. Our little Willow has definitely created challenges to our morning. The morning has always been where I plan my day, set my intentions, and find what to focus on. I haven’t been able to do that.

After creating this bullet list, it’s clear to me that the solution to my racing thoughts has nothing to do with creating a document, but everything to do with setting time aside each day to get centered.

Cool. I feel better already.
