More relaxed already

I have been essentially puttering around from one task to another since I got up 3 hours ago and it really feels good to just let my brain wander.

I have a loose outline of my day – stuff that has to get done- but the timing of it doesn’t matter.

So, I can work on one thing for a while then switch tasks…

For example, as I was writing the sentence above, I suddenly remembered that our small suitcase fits in our larger one* and that I would have more room in the basement if I combined them.

Because I am letting my brain off leash today, instead of trying to park that thought I just got up and put the small suitcase in the big one.

Normally, I wouldn’t jump up to do that right then because it makes no sense to do that now and because I might get even more distracted.

However, since I have given myself permission to follow my distractions today, it was ok to just go do the thing. And now it’s done and I am back on task.

So my question for myself is – If I just did things when I think of them instead of putting energy into focusing, would things just even out over the day?

That is probably worth experimenting with.

*Why did I remember that just then? Who knows?
