Some days, I’m tempted to start the day with gardening and THEN focus on the fresh writing in the afternoon.
This is a bad idea.
Because gardening is physically tiring. And I want to take a nap after doing it.
I also lose all track of time gardening. I can garden until the sun goes down and that doesn’t leave enough time for the planned writing.
But most importantly, writing is more important to me right now than gardening.
Do the most important work first.
Then play in the garden (or read or talk with coworkers or…).
