Priorities or Distractions AKA Worse or Better?

Earlier this week I could not write in my journal because I could not find my mini stencil. I ended up going to bed without writing. I gave my best movie moment rant to myself. Cranky, like an old lady, wondering where I had misplaced my stencil. I suffered a full-on Vira Donovan moment looking for my China Pig.

I have a goal to write everyday but I fell down on the job over the distraction of not having my writing tool in hand. I tried to substitute a larger less useable stencil to trace in the check boxes and geometric shapes I use to signify activity groups. I am letting some stupid habits get in the way of what I am really after. Am I missing consistent content creation for want of a nail?

It came up today when I was reading the James Clear newsletter. The question for the week at the end of his email is: "Which distractions in your life have become disguised as priorities?"

The lesson for me here is to question my quirks. What is getting in my way of taking over the world?
