Where is your downfall?

Howdy Reader! I saw when and where my downfall happened tonight. That time and place when my productivity went out the window. I came home with such good intentions. I had made a list of things to do so I'd be better prepared for tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning's going to be easy to get ready. Then I opened up TikTok on my phone after dinner. Spent something like 45 minutes scrolling at the kitchen table. And another 30 minutes or so on the couch. Then I trudged upstairs and wasn't productive until maybe 11 PM. TikTok was the start of not doing jack. It's the start of a routine, and not a productive one. So I uninstalled TikTok on my phone tonight. One less thing to trip over tomorrow evening.

If I'm not saving him time, I'm not earning my keep. For a bit, I was concerned because he was rewriting a lot of what I gave him. I got feedback and...
Howdy Reader! Yesterday I mentioned that my downfall was TikTok. Scrolling on TikTok was the start of a wasted evening. So I uninstalled TikTok on my phone to prevent me from taking that road at least. Well, good news: tonight was a bit more productive. I wouldn't say that I got a lot more done, but there was more quality time. I was more present in the time after dinner, rather than scrolling on TikTok. And afterwards, when I went to work, I got started earlier. So not a home run, but I...
Howdy Reader! If you're on a creator journey, it's a great thing. Having written, recorded, and so forth for 20+ years, I've learned a couple of things about progress. First: Do the work. There is no other trick. Second: Don't stop for any substantial length of time. It's doubly hard to get started again. After a break, old habits set in and take root. It makes the journey harder for no good reason. Sure, there are reasons for stopping that may be out of your control. But it's far better to...
