other developments

A couple of days ago, I was in the office, reading twitter and doing my work when a thought struck me that I felt the need to write on the whiteboard at work, then tweet, then write on my board in paraphrased form. Allow me to kick your tail:

Why is ______ more important that the things I say that I need/want to do?

For instance, I have meaning to exercise for a while now, but hadn't done it. Well, I got home and was about to fall into my relaxing routine and about to hop on facebook when I started writing the sentence on the board... and I thought. Exactly what am I doing that isn't exercise?

Chat. Facebook. Twitter.

Is that more important that exercise?

Well considering the benefits of exercise to my personal interests, no.

Then you're sitting down.... why?

And with that, I was exercising, without external motivation, for an hour and loved every minute of it. Why? I did something I wanted and needed to do and left myself no excuses at all for not accomplishing that thing.

Today, it was getting my videos done and formatting a computer and writing in my social media blog (after four weeks absent, I have done two in two days). Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Whatever it is, it will be met without excuses.
