If you haven’t heard, it’s National Recovery Month, so I’m zoning in. Recovery is about regaining control, choosing the outcomes you want for your life. And as I’ve written before, during this pandemic season (and the insanity that’s been 2020), my routines have fallen by the wayside. I’ve been overworked and less given to creative work. I’ve indulged in more social media consumption than I’d like, too. So now, I’m aiming to fix that through:

Capturing the first hour of the day to create, meditate, and contemplate;
Using the screen-time tracker Moment to stay below two hours of phone use a day;
Moving my body 5-6 times a week (if you do this right, you can’t be attached to your phone);
Diving into the creative process of re-writing an eight-year-old novel (the first installment of Bears in the Yard went out yesterday to Substack subscribers).

Have you lost track of your routines in the Pandemic? What are you doing to restore them? Feel free to shoot me an email and let me know.
