I am participating in the March Slice of Life Challenge: A slice a day for all of March. You should do it too! Thank you, Two Writing Teachers! Readers, check out their site, and start slicing!
Choices. Mr. Thought’s video editing world has a choice to offer. “Fast, cheap, or good – pick any 2.”
I was thinking about this a lot today… the choices I have to make each day. Sometimes I can pick 1, sometimes any two…
Morning: Press snooze, shower, or gather my coffee and lunch?
Drive to school: Radio, mindfulness, or plan?
Planning: Fast, thorough, or copies made?
Grading: On time, efficient, or thorough?
Planning Period: Students, paperwork, or recharge?
After school: Catch up on work, get home early, or exercise?
At home: Kids, dinner, or work?
After kids go to bed: Clean, write, or prepare?
After writing: Pack lunches, read or go to bed?
What choices are you making each day?
Ooh, I like this structure! I’m afraid I pick snooze over shower more than I should…
Wow! When you put it like this, how do we not go crazy with all the unconscious choices we have to make every day?!
You are correct, we make numerous choices every day. Looking back some we like, some not so much. Your writing style emphasized those choices. Great job.
I’ve been a lot better about being mindful of my decisions throughout the day, but I have to admit that many of my decisions are still mindlessly habit-driven.
