It’s Sunday. I had plans and a to-do list and I’m getting some things done, but today I’m cutting myself some slack.

Do I need a little break? I do. Will it help get me back into gear and enhance productivity later? Probably.

Or maybe not. I still need that break.

For the sake of happiness and productivity, our goal should not be to squeeze every second of distraction and leisure out of our days.

So I’ll spend at least part of my afternoon reading, drinking a smoked yaupon tea with whole milk and maple syrup, maybe have a treat, like one of the donuts we picked up yesterday. I’ll also check every half hour to see if we’ve managed to trap that last kitten, and generally take things slow. 

…

Who am I kidding, of course I’ll have that donut!

Here’s hoping your day is good too.
