Bumps in the road

I had this grand plan to focus more on work tasks by placing my phone in a drawer throughout the day. I wanted to move more by getting up and walking every 20 minutes. I wanted to get back into my regular workout schedule after work. I wanted to start a new project.

Planned to really focus starting today…. then my kid got sick. They can’t go to school. My wife is super busy at work and can’t take the day off to stay with them. So, I happily agreed to do it.

Guilty pleasure breakfast? Check. Laying around all day? Check. Not checking my work email or being productive at all? Check.

Big time bump in the road for my plan. And, you know what? I love it. More time with my kiddo and a chill, recharging mental break. Maybe this is exactly what I need before shifting into a serious gear.

Taking things in stride is something I’ve tried getting better about. It’s hard. I’m an anxious planner and don’t like interruptions. This one, though… this is the perfect little bump in the road to help me get over that. Pun intended.
