Pay Attention

I feel like I'm waiting around. I'm so focused on my goal that I'm not trying to do a million things like I always have done.

I feel the urge to do more things. Ideas keep popping up in my mind and I'm inspired to go do them. But I don't. I wait. And eventually, that feeling goes away. Then I find myself glad that I didn't let that serve as a distraction.

It feels uncomfortable because I've been busy my entire life. But that's the old me. That's a habit that doesn't serve me in achieving my goal so I refuse to get drawn back into it. I'm keeping myself focused on only a few things. Only the most important things that will make the biggest impact.

I've radically changed the way I plan my day and how I spend my time. I only focus on 3 tasks each day. I do them first and let the rest fall in place. It's not as easy as it sounds, distractions are everywhere, but it's getting easier to stay focused.

Where I put my attention, action happens. When my attention is constantly shifting between several tasks, ideas, and other distractions, very little actually gets accomplished. When I have only a few things to focus on, shit gets done. But even better, the right shit gets done.

But this morning, I felt something new.

A Moment of Inspiration

A feeling of something missing. A part of world-building and playing DnD that I don't get from my current game - because it's meant to be different. But I miss the long-term collaborative world-building and storytelling that comes with a longer campaign. My game is more like a board game that you play over and over.

So I spent some time brainstorming ideas for my next campaign and game : ) I really enjoyed it and it invoked some powerful emotions. It then led to inspiration and a surge of motivation for my current game.

There's often a fine line between distraction and moments of inspiration. But I'm getting better at searching my feelings and identifying real moments that are worth chasing.

And even if it's not worth it in the end, so what? There's no need to worry, just be happy - you'll find that life keeps getting better and better.
