Once again I’m enticed by words, by how they can tease me into wakefulness and thoughts. I am better with them than without. In the language of gurus, words ground me. I’ve been a little lost and forgetful since I’ve lapsed my writing practice. I’ve found my way back, seeking the magic and comfort in the tapping of my keyboard.

I’m going to stay on course. My short term plan is to show up daily from now till the end of January. I’m pumped by James Clear’s Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones. It’s a very easy and interesting read. One valuable thing he said was that it’s not goal setting that’s the ticket. It’s the system we use to get to the goal. It makes sense. It should be easy to test it.

I already have a goal of writing every day till the end of January. In order to succeed, I have to show up at my keyboard every day and write. The best times for me would be in the morning or early afternoon. By late afternoon, I am drained physically and mentally. I shall not be too ambitious and aim for the stars. I shall have coffee chats to start off with. Who know where chats can go, eh?
