I was thinking yesterday how I hold a small list of immediate concerns in my head at all times. Like. (This morning) Get up. Find a hoodie. Put on over nightie. Let dogs out. Go out and water the ducklings, check the white calf’s rear, listen to the farm, make a cup of tea, return to morning writing. From there to create the next list of the day.
‘Not right now’ is now engaged for one hour before I get up to go do morning chores.
I love it actually! I would think about more to add to the list - but ‘not right now’. Ha!! This is great!
Good morning to you, too. And thanks for reading as part of your busy day. I do think "not right now" makes a great mantra--as long as we use if when we don't want to be interrupted from useful activities. Have a great Sunday!
I love this, Charlotte! I’ve been doing a lot of “not right now” practice lately and it’s a great improvement in my creative life. I like having a name for it now. Thank you!
You are so good at nourishing your creative life, Jenni, I love seeing all your projects on Insta. And if this mantra helps at all, that makes me happy!
