The last week or so of blog posts haven’t been up to my expectations—not anywhere close.
Writing is important to me, and when I’m not writing interesting things, it’s a bad sign. Writing requires clear thinking. And if I’m not writing interesting things, I’m not spending as much time thinking clearly about interesting things.
It’s easy to figure out why I’m not writing as prolifically: I’m not focusing on it.
Focus.
In this current moment, I hate the word. I fully recognize its importance and have become very good at focusing. Nonetheless, I hate it. To me, “Focus” doesn’t mean “get to work and stop lollygagging.” Focus means “ignore all those great ideas and other interesting things that you could also be doing.”
We live under the constraint of time. It is our most brutal reality. We must pick our priorities.
I spent some time going over my priorities today. Writing was one of them.
