2021 off to a… start?

I was ready for 2020 to be over. Naively believing that as the calendar rolled over to 2021, the issues of 2020 would be in the past. Somehow they have followed me into 2021. One good thing about being unable to go about life as normal, is I have lots of time to think. The downside is I also have lots of time to get lost in time sinks. The biggest time sinks in my life are carried around on my phone.

While thinking of how I can get more out of 2021, I decided that budgeting my time for activities I value should be my biggest priority. I sat down and made a list of activities: practicing the guitar, working on this website, reading, investing, practicing pool, working out. I am now working on blocking off time in my day for each activity. I am hoping by adding this structure to my day I can reduce the time I spend on time sinks.

I will let this post serve as a marker. I hope to have new blog posts at least once a week. Let’s see how I do.
