Choosing the day

Everything is a trade off. We know this.

If we’re doing one thing, it means we’re not doing (quite literally) countless other things.

And time only moves in one direction.

One of the challenges is that some patterns quietly hold themselves in the mix. As though they’re fixed within each day, and only the remainder is ours.

So we review the inbox, or we watch the news, or we check the necessary feeds, and so on … and only then can we divvy the day.

But it’s a cunning trap.

Each day is ours — all of it. Each moment.

And we get to choose.

Like a judicious chef, ought we not pick the best ingredients and in the proper balance?
