Day 3,053

Growth:

There’s a beauty to getting so lost in work when it is all towards a clear purpose. My task list today was very straight forward and I tackled the majority of what I wanted to get done and I still have much of tomorrow to finish. What I’m most thankful for is remembering just how important it is to have a clear focus and goals to help get myself into a flow state like I was in much of the day. In those moments time seems to disappear and all that exists is the work ahead of me. Tomorrow I will do my best to follow a similar pattern and keep the same rhythm.

Appreciation:

Over the past couple of months I’ve started carving out time over lunch to go to the gym and get a bonus workout in. Today I did the same as I was in between tasks. I paused to wrap up my current task, prepped a few things for the next so I could jump right in when I returned, and then headed out. After 45 minutes of a sweet chest and back endurance workout my heart was pumping, my head was clear, and I was ready to get back to work. Had I just chilled my energy level wouldn’t have been nearly as high and I would not have been as productive as I was. Here’s to quick middle of the day workouts to help increase productivity!

Presence:

This afternoon at work I was obviously deep in thought when one of my teammates made a comment and asked it I was doing okay. I couldn’t help but laugh as I realized just how I must’ve looked in that moment. I was in the midst of some deep thinking and work when I realized I needed to grab something. While walking I was still mentally going through the concept I was working on and I was completely oblivious to the world around me until my teammate made a comment. For sure, I wasn’t present in where I was walking in that moment, but the focus and depth of my thought process was wildly in the moment. Definitely an engaging project to work on for sure!

Thanks!!!
