Now that I've settled from my GRAND EUROPEAN TOUR and my wisdom tooth extraction, I've been trying to settle into better habits. Ultimately, I would like to drill down and focus on the things that are most important to me -- meditation, community engagement, writing and reading.
One thing I've noticed, even from two weeks in Europe -- we are *constantly* being assaulted for our attention. Ads are trying to sell us shit all the time; there's always something to be scared or angry about.

Ideally, every time I complete one task and decide what to do next. *Everything* is a decision point.
So part of this work is developing defenses against distractions, both external and self-inflicted. Meditation certainly helps me catch when I'm being distracted or getting into a mindless rut, but I've also gotten better at recognizing when I'm at a decision point that I could use to build better habits. That's been interesting, and fun. :)
