I have had a very odd side effect over the last week or so that I am a bit perplexed over. I also do not want to spend too much time thinking about it as I might scare it away.
I have not been procrastinating NEARLY as much as I usually do. My normal uncanny ability to instantly come up with 100 reasons not to do a particular task has been slightly muted as of late! Whats up with that?
Take for example today. I went to pay for my vehicle registration online and I found out I needed to go get an emissions test. Rather then decide to do it some day when I am out doing other errands, I clicked on a map of locations, grabbed my purse, and walked out the door. I was back to the house in about 20 minutes, task complete. I returned home, realized what I had done, and was outright flabbergasted. This is very un-Erin-like. Very much so.
I have noticed this for other items, some small, some big, but frankly, its kind of scaring me.
Again, I am not analyzing it too deeply, as I might scare this new found much more productive ability away. This allusive productivity habit has been a rare creature in my life, I do not want to make any loud noises or approach too quickly, it might return with haste back to the jungle.
I am doing a few things this month, but none I would necessarily attribute fully to this change. Doing a media fast, but not an internet fast, so there are plenty of things I could waste my time on (and still do on occasion). I have a long list of things to accomplish each day and with some late nights I have managed to accomplish them 100% for the last 18 days. I am also working on some other productivity habits (although those have had limited success).
Well, whatever it is, I will try and embrace it……gently.
