Go somewhere.

I spent my day thinking warm, snuggly thoughts of blankets and hot tea and Jane Austen movies on Netflix. rainy day from my office window

I knew that as soon as I walked in the door, I would be hard pressed to do anything other than snuggle with the dogs, turn on the TV, cover up, cuddle in, and drift in and out of a hazy almost-sleep until Josh got home from class.

So when I got home, I said hi to the pups. I took them outside in the rain. We all ran back inside. And I put on my boots, zipped my coat, and headed right back in to the storm.

It is so easy to call an end to my day when I get home from work. To eat dinner, put on PJs, and snuggle in for the night.

But when you are a person with goals and dreams and plans as big as mine, you really don’t have time for that nonsense. And as I am learning, sometimes that means you have to give up the comfort of a full belly and a warm puppy and a cozy blanket for a hard chair and headphones in your favorite coffee shop. Whatever it takes to make you sit up straight and get things done.

Do you feel my pain? Can you concentrate on your work after a full day at your job? Where do you go to stay on task?
