Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
7/11: needed detour
I've been trying to keep to a work schedule--I find that it's necessary for me to create some structure for my days during the summer, else they'll just slip away. But this afternoon I couldn't get my head into the right place for work, so I went with Chris to run some errands. It was good to take a step back: I cleared my head enough that when we got back I still managed to get all the work-related things done today that I had hoped.
I know the feeling: I am retired (no longer working for about 18 months) and still amazed how quickly the day can slip by and I wonder "what happened?" I think a flexible schedule is a very good thing; good luck in creating and following yours;-).
ReplyDeleteHello, Honoré! Yes, the trick for me is finding the right balance between structure and flexibility. Probably by the time I feel I've struck the perfect balance, it'll be time to head back to school.... ; )
