I don’t get a lot of free time during weekdays when my brain is most active. Like most, I have to use my brain at work all day leaving little room for anything “creative”. Don’t get me wrong, I have to be very creative while working to handle certain situations or issues to keep the business running smooth and the people as happy as I can. The creativity I am speaking of is the side of my brain that has a dream, a goal or three, and the planning involved to make them happen. Most people who know me, know that I like to write. Writing takes time and a lot of creativity. It seems I am most creative when I am in the shower, driving in traffic, during my workout, and any other time where stopping to jot down some notes is extremely difficult. I have thought about using a recorder but haven’t pulled the trigger on that yet. When I get home from work each day, it seems my brain goes into “quiet mode” for a little while. What am I going to do?
This post is more a case of me venting rather than looking for answers. I think I know what the answers are and that I need to make them happen if I am going to make my goals and dreams a reality. I guess I just need to hear it from myself in my own voice. I need to work smarter AND harder if these things I want to happen are going to happen. The above makes sense, but it is also an excuse, and I really don’t like excuses. I’m just making sure something might happen.
