Yesterday I felt off my game. I got asked several hundred (thousands?) questions about MainStreet by our leaders who put the event together and half they time they were asking me a question and I was wondering to myself, "Why are you asking me?" Then I had to remind myself… They are asking me because I am in charge of the event!
Why is it so hard to find routine in the summer? Is it that no one else has a routine? (Students are fully lost at this point, most of them have no way to keep track of time or days it seems) Is it that you do so many things (trips, events, planning, swimming, beach, BBQ, visiting) that are different from the rest of the year that you fall out of your habits?
It is good to get "out of routine" too. When you are out of your normal routines you get variety and you often get a new perspective on the things in your routine.
It’s the intersection of "not in routine" and "in routine" that is pretty rough. Everything is going to be fine. MainStreet is going to be just as cool as ever… hopefully cooler. But getting back in the routine of doing it is a little rough.
My strategy for getting back in routines
- Suck it up cream puff and get back in your routine.
- Uh, suck it up?
- How about just sucking it up and getting your stuff done?
So far, this strategy seems to be working just fine.
