How To Work on a Sunday Without Getting Riled Up
Today’s a Sunday and I have to work.
I don’t like to work on Sundays. But sometimes, work has to get done.
I’ve put a lot of thought and experimentation into rest. Moderation with work and leisure is a top tier value to me, and I prefer to do both with intention. If this were a Monday morning, I would have my caffeine just before I write, I’d eat a square meal just before I plan my day, and I’d put on motivational music to carry me through the afternoon.
But today’s not a Monday morning. I don’t like to kick my brain into fifth gear when there’s work to do on Sundays, because it can be hard for me to come back down. A while ago, I asked myself, how can I get things done on Sunday without getting riled up?
They key for me is just that. I simply don’t do the things that get me riled up. I take a slow morning. I put on slow music. I chip away at things while I watch baseball. I don’t worry if things take a little longer than they could if I was at 100% focus. The key is to keep a restful mind-state while you take care of what you need to.
