PROMPT: Hobby or pastime

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

Swimming, at the moment.

PROMPT: Skill

What skill would you like to learn?

FREEDIVING.

PROMPT: Do More

Daily writing prompt
What could you do more of?
Pie eating. I don't mean to be gluttonous about it, but I seldom eat a proper piece of pie. I'd say I get enough dessert, overall, but perhaps need to shift more of the balance of dessert in the direction of pie. Or maybe I just have a momentary hankering for pie, and this is all just meaningless rambles. I do not intend to build a pie-eating action plan, so things will probably remain as they are on the pie-eating front.

PROMPT: Walk or Run

How often do you walk or run?

Daily. I don’t live in an aquarium (thus allowing swimming as the predominant mode of transport,) nor am I a potted plant that stays where I’m set. Also, flying is out of the question, except in an airplane.

PROMPT: Plan

Daily writing prompt
How do you plan your goals?

Haphazardly with a side of slapdashery.

PROMPT: Sell

Daily writing prompt
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

Experiences and lessons.

PROMPT: Health and Well-Being

Daily writing prompt
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Move my body. Eat my veggies. Feel gratitude regularly. Do not stick my hand down the garbage disposal. Surrender to my ignorance.

PROMPT: Game

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

I go through periods of playing chess on my phone. I guess I enjoy that as much as anything. It’s a fine time pass. Though I’m not any good. If one were to go by what I do reasonably well, that would be more word puzzles or Scrabble — things that rely upon verbal skills. I’ve never been big on games of any variety.

PROMPT: Foods

Daily writing prompt
What foods would you like to make?

I’ve never baked a bread. That sounds satisfying.

PROMPT: One Small Improvement

Daily writing prompt
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

Use a timer to create distraction-free zones in your day. When you’re working on a task, set the timer for some reasonable time (say, 1 hour.) [Do not try to do many hours at a time, you should move and ruminate on a regular basis.] Until the timer goes off, social media doesn’t exist. YouTube doesn’t exist. Snacks do not exist. Visitors do not exist. Phone calls don’t exist. Texts don’t exist. Only the task at hand exists, and only dire emergency should be allowed to interfere. This facilitates Flow.
