You know it’s been a busy day when you hit 11k steps on your Fitbit and you never left the house. I spent the entire day cooking and cleaning for the upcoming food fest on Thursday. I did fun things like mopping the entire first floor. I ironed napkins. I baked cookies and pumpkin bread. I washed and folded sheets, vacuumed, and did some holiday decorating. I made simple syrup and juiced limes for cocktails. I got in time on the Peloton and managed to squeak in a shower as well. I am tired just thinking about all I finished.
On days like this, I am amazed at how much I can accomplish if I ignore my phone, computer, and the news.
Life is full of distractions. It’s too bad that most of them are ones we created. I am not one to wax rhapsodic about the good old days, but every once in a while I think we would be much better off without iPhones, apps, unlimited television channels, Alexa, social media, and the Internet. I think I would probably be able to focus better and get more done.
11k steps in the house? That’s crazy! I go out for a 5k run and I only make about 6k steps. And yes, totally agreed that phones are a super distraction, and that I too can get a lot done if I could just stop checking it so danged much. Thanks for this post!
Thanks for your comment, Stuart. Good for you for running. I only run when I’m being chased! 😉
