It's Monday.

On Mondays I try to have fresh intentions and goals for the week. It doesn't always work, but it usually does. I don't write them down but I should, because the way this usually plays out is that I spend most of Monday working on something before realizing way too late in the day that I had other things to do. If that happens Tuesday will suck in a different way, because I'll be trying to do a Tuesday but also make up for the lost ("lost") or wasted ("wasted") Monday. Wednesday is the worst if first two days of the week are like that, and if I get there, I get paralyzed to the point where like ~80% of my ambitions evaporate.

This week was headed that way, really and truly, but then the boom came from up on high that we're not running that script anymore and not walking that (well-worn) path anymore. anymore. Instead, we're going with progress not perfection.

Actually, now that this post is suffused with "progress not perfection," energy, I've gotta keep it a buck. I'd rather be making progress on the second chapter of something I hope will end up at novella length before the end of 2026 than writing some a post here.
