I’m halfway through Day One of the 10 Day Declutter challenge, and I’m taking notes.
What’s surprisingly hard?
Being online for only 15 minutes, 2 times per day.
Did you know 15 minutes goes by in the blink of an eye when
you’re online? I thought this might be
true, and boy is it. I actually took a
minute to plan my time online so I’d be sure to check in on things I needed and
wanted to. I’ve used 8 of my 15 rest time
minutes so far and I’m not sure I’m going to be able to do everything I want to
do in the remaining 7.
I’m noticing myself gravitating towards surfing online when I’m
avoiding other things, such as the jolt of waking up and getting going in the
morning, or my to-do list in the afternoon.
I’d rather sit down and zone out in the mornings, or sit down and click
through pages rapidly in the afternoons to give myself the illusion of
accomplishment. But neither of these
times are really good for long surfing sessions.
What’s surprisingly easy?
Taking a walk.
The hardest thing about going for a walk or run is the planning. Once it’s planned in my day, it’s as good as
done. I’m thankful to have a beautiful
bike and hike trail right near Eden’s school.
I pushed Isaac in the stroller for a long walk and then we waded in the
river for awhile. It was gorgeous and
fun and I love how the planned outing led to unplanned adventure.
