My mornings are very predictable. At six my phone starts its melodic harp sound telling me its time to get up. It pops up with a box that says “Take today and run with it”. I think I thought when I set it up that reading something inspirational would help me be ready to take on the day… But, yeah it pretty much just annoys me at six in the morning. A reminder that later in the day I have more energy than I do this early. But still I wake up and slowly make my way down stairs, turn on the hot water and stare at it while it gets ready to whistle and tell me that it’s now way too hot to drink and I need to wait for it to now cool down again.

I have started drinking irish breakfst tea in the morning instead of coffee. For some reason tea just seems better to me this early. Once my tea is done and firmly in hand I make my way over to the couch where I start working on the Book. I usually sit down and get a good 10 minutes of productivity in right off the bat. But the thing about productivity is that it starts to lead to topics that need research and of coarse I am on my computer anyway so I can hop over and do a little research right here. How perfect is that right? I mean Wikipedia is just a few clicks away and its so easy to find everything about anything…Here is the problem, and its the same every time, I start researching a bit about car sharing or African cultures and boom….30 or 40 minutes has past and I have written exactly nothing.

This post is no different its 6:52 AM meaning that I have been up for 52 minutes. I have my cup of irish breakfast tea and my laptop….And yeah somehow my “research” landed me here at the LJ Urban site where I started writing this blog post, instead of writing on the book. It’s always the same, every time.

I have to go write more. And maybe turn off my internet connection while I am at it.
