Resuing Days from the Jaws of Defeat

There are times when a day goes off the tracks. You tried to plan it. You move into the afternoon wondering if it´s lost, gone. You had plans and motivations and then you were distracted. One thing I am learning is when I feel like this, I need to focus. I need to complete whatever task is in front of me. I need to wash the dishes in the sink, finish the email in front of me, make my bed, take the steps to actually wake up, whatever. I need to finish something. Come back to a sense of flow and focus. It keeps me out of feeling like I pandering and wandering.

For me, the harder part is feeling idle. Not knowing. Waiting on someone with only a vague sense of what direction I should move in. That´s hard.
