Habit and Routine

2013-06-06: Habit and Routine - Philosophy

Getting old sucks, for the most part. It is watching hairs grow coarser, whiter, fighting harder against fat, having to do more to receive less beauty from your body.

But there is one thing that is better: Time is faster. At a glance, this may seem terrible. 2013 is halfway over? Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. But slow down, my friend, here is how your old ass can take advantage of that:

Habit and Routine.

Do something every day. Every single day. Promise yourself that you will spend 5 measly minutes doing something every day.

5 minutes? What can you accomplish in 5 minutes?

"I use habit and routine to make my life possible."

Over a year ago I promised myself that I would play my guitar every day when I woke up. Not a lot, just a few minutes. Just long enough to do exercises I used to hate.

You know what?

Some of my chops are better now than they were at 19 when I played my heart out.

I am taking online classes. I have an excel spreadsheet with expectations, and when I fall behind I grit my teeth and do it on one of the seemingly millions of fleeting nights falling in the rear-view mirror.

I have probably written about it before, but I don't care. Now that I'm old, that was probably 15 minutes ago.
