Hey there!
I was reading through a few blog posts and saw the time. It’s Monday Motivation time. I’ll time this post if I finish early or just post it at midnight. I love the variety in the blogs I follow. One had a family visit to a great tropical resort, another is in Japan, and yet another got to the gym and knocked out some treadmill work. We are all so unique, yet the same. We like to write (obviously), we like to tell our stories, and we like the occasional response to our work. I try to respond to all the blogs I read, hoping folks will do the same on mine. I really enjoy getting comments. It makes my day!
OK. Off we go!
This week I’ll be following my daily regimen. Writing, reading, learning, meditating, coding, exercising, and all the rest. I enjoy my rituals. I schedule enough work to keep me busy and the rest of the day is mine. Rituals are nice because they slowly become a habit. I do not follow a daily schedule, because I would rarely follow it. I get all of my stuff done. It’s nice to have some flexibility in the day and attack what I want to when I feel it.
One thing I do is cluster like tasks together. When I’m done with this blog post, I’ll hit my journaling, posting quotes, sharing articles, and letter writing. Tomorrow during the day when I’m fresh, I’ll do some work on my classwork and coding exercises. I’ll get my exercise in, and I try to meditate every afternoon between 2:30 and 4:30 pm. I like this time of day because there is little chance I’ll fall asleep. I tried morning meditations and before-bed meditations, but I always fall asleep. The afternoon sessions are perfect.
I hope all of you have a great week!
Until next time…
Dave
Sounds like an amazing Monday. Haven’t blog for awhile but reading the blogger stories are part of my daily inspiration. Makes me feel connected & not alone in the craziness of life.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, it’s a relaxing Monday. I’m a real night owl and knock most of my daily tasks out between Midnight and 3 am. I agree, I have made some friends on here, just be communicating like this. Thanks a lot for commenting. I live for these. Have a great Monday! ~Dave

I’ll try to comment here more, Dave… I love my blogger friends. Even though i adore Japan, I wish I was at a great tropical resort! 🙂 And… I was planning on knocking out a workout on the treadmill and some weights this morning, but I tripped last night walking to the train station with my niece and now my already bum right knee (torn meniscus) is telling me to walk gently, not run on the treadmill, but I can still do the weights. I’m pretty disappointed that they don’t have Australian Open coverage on the Japanese TV here, so I’m going to have to find it on my laptop. I hope you had a great Monday! It’s Tuesday about noon here in Japan. Oh, and my favorite meditation is the kind that puts me to sleep.
