This has been a long, habit breaking hiatus.

But to be positive, I learnt quite a bit about myself from it:

I clearly didn’t prioritise blogging and writing about my thoughts – hence when more urgent (but unfulfilling) tasks came about like house renovation, holiday planning etc, blogging fell on the back burner.

Holidays also really break habits, and are a litmus test to see if priorities are true priorities. It can’t be that your life goals entirely change just because you have switched locations – you could easily make it happen.

Been audio-reading the book called “5AM Club” and here are some of my thoughts:

5AM Club could be the name of a new bar in town.. hehe

I dislike audio books because I can’t see the words and have them committed to my memory – its certainly convenient, as I can listen on the go and get inspired, but that’s what it is – I’m inspired but it doesn’t translate into action.

Ok but jokes and distractions aside, the book repeatedly reminds me how important it is to not be distracted. To realise that attention, focus and self control within a day are limited – just like any video game’s HP/MP gauges – so if we wake up and immediately waste some on consuming the latest gossip and social media, and if throughout the day we are restless and keep getting distracted by interesting but unimportantly matters, we can’t summon the necessary creativity, attention and energy for the most important things.

I should talk about prioritise in my next post.
