Writing blog posts, for example, is something that benefits from a steady rhythm. When I had that in previous years, it felt easier to show up and publish consistently. Once that cadence broke, getting back into it requires more effort than I expected, even though my desire to write has never left.
On blogging as a routine.
For me it’s exercise, exercise, exercise (seriously it creates a night and day difference), then maybe meditation, a quick “brain dump” journaling session about my thought process, and quality time with other people.

In den Ländern, die sich in Paris 2015 einer Initiative gegen das Verbrennen von nicht genutztem Erdgas (flaring) angeschlossen hatten, wird das Verbrennen mit offener Flamme oft nur durch Verbrennung in geschlossenen Anlagen ersetzt, wie eine investigative journalistische Recherche ergab. Die Menge der Emissionen sinkt dadurch nicht wesentlich, aber diese Anlagen sind für Satelliten nicht äußerlich erkennbar. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/may/02/methane-emissions-gas-flaring-hidden-satellite-monitors-oil-gas

I'm not just talking about journaling. I'm talking about writing down the first few thoughts you have after you've arrived at work but before you've started on the day's tasks. Draw a picture or doodle an idea. It's a way to figure out what is important, and what is stressing you out. It is a record of your preparation and a way to help you look back and see, for these seven minutes, what was really important. Make sure you don't get too focused on the writing and not enough on the thinking.
I love this practice and may have been doing it wrong. Pluswhich, I no longer GO to the office (unless walking down the stairs is that). But mostly, I've made it too routine. More doodling is in order!
COVID has demonstrated how easy it is to bring life and the economy to a complete standstill, instant reliable result testing is the only way forward, without it, we are at risk of going backwards and bring yet more pressure on the health system, businesses and the public.
Calculate Your Biological Prime Time During the day, your energy fluctuates. This fluctuation is impacted by what you eat and when, how much caffeine or sugar you consume, how tired you are, how hard you work, what type of work you’re doing, how much you’re using your physical body, and a whole lot more. Sam Carpenter, in his book Work the System, coined the phrase “biological prime time.” He suggests charting our energy during the day for a few weeks. And not just noting your energy highs and lows between six a.m. and nine p.m. You want to jot down your peak times of focus and lack thereof as well as those bursts of motivation. You’d want to note when you exercise and for how long, what times you wake up and go to sleep. Basically you keep a journal with the emphasis on energy and concentration. Think about trying this.

Treating separation anxiety with behavior change Here, we’re talking about your behavior. The goal is to make your absence seem like no big deal. Making a fuss over your pet when you leave or arrive home only makes matters worse. If you treat it like it’s routine, your pet will learn to do the same.

Considérez votre environnement d’adulte : tout y est familier. Vous ne remarquez même plus les détails de votre intérieur ou de votre bureau. Tandis que pour un enfant, tout est nouveau et inconnu : le monde est plein de nouvelles expériences à mener. Son jeune cerveau ne cesse de reconfigurer ses perceptions du monde extérieur, et cette intense activité psychique lui donne l’impression que le temps s’écoule lentement, tandis que pour un adulte englué dans le train-train quotidien, c’est l’inverse.

When it is crowded, they don't complain, but customers often choose to stand in the aisles and on the steps when there is other space available.
Regardless of the fact that other space is available, they chose to occupy an area of the bar that has some sort of significance to them personally or with the crowd they typically go to the bar with
