Thank God for deadlines

I realise that I'm sort of a watery person. If I don't have a container to hold me, I spill out all over the place with no definite form or shape. Which is why I need deadlines. I need a structure. Work gives me that. It forces me to plan ahead, figure out what is going to fill the pages. 

And now that my section has been turned into a weekly, this is even more important.

I am reading a biography of Leonardo da Vinci and I see that he was curious about everything but not very good at finishing what he started. He wanted to work on things for years, perfecting a bit here, a bit there.

But what he actually did finish were masterpieces.

I am by no means a genius. 

And I hate how scattered my thoughts are and how I am all over the place and how I do not follow through on intentions.

So now, since I have only walked 664 steps and it is already 12.19, I will finish this here and go for a walk.

Later for you.
