Did you know Shakespeare fiddled around with the spelling of his name, spelling it over 80 different ways, according to two totally un-fact-checked (by me) online sources? I was just thinking about this as I spelled "catch-up" differently for the 3rd time. (I'd heard it before these sources, I just googled to make sure I wasn't mis-remembering, and to get a specific number)
One thing that has me hopeful for my current stretch of unscheduled time, over previous times in my life, is a new behavior. When presented with some time, and the realization that there is nothing pressing that needs to get done, what is your knee-jerk reaction and then your actual action? Previously, it would be to go off on some interesting or fun tangent or distraction. Currently, it is mostly to get working on something important to me. That feels like a rather profound, fundamental shift in my behavior, in a very positive direction. At some point (or perhaps gradually) over the last several years, its sunk in that it actually feels really good to get the things you want done, done.
