There are few perfect days. Perfect weeks are almost unheard of. Perfect months are unicorns.
Sometimes what you need is novelty. A new focus to fire up new connections in the brain and hopefully fire up the existing ones. Novelty can be motivating. Novelty is often an over-sought reward though.
More, I think we need structure. In my opinion novelty is ostentation that really only functions well if accessorizing a solid structure. I am not organized enough for the kind of structure that results in billionaires or industries with several hundred moving parts, but I have come to see the value in the word "economics" or its Greek ancestor "oikonomikos," or "house keeping."
Often, our house is physically out of order and it weighs on us. But that weight is not real. That weight is a sign of our mental house being out of order. If I set my mind, then it's easier to remember that dishes and clutter are not life and death, or even difficult. I remember that a 6-year old tantrum is insignificant in comparison to the two weeks of cheerful piano practice leading up to it. I remember that a hug ends that tantrum.
I took a couple days off to get my house in order. Please, comment and share something trivial you've allowed to stop you.
