It’s Monday and my brain did not show up for work. Here are the various means I’m using to trick it into putting in an appearance.
1. Chocolate. Chocolate helps you get those happy brain chemicals going if you know what I mean, and I think you do. I keep medicinal chocolate around at all times. Yes, it’s medicinal. Shut up.
2. Coffee. Coffee gets the synapses snapping along. What was I thinking with the herbal tea?
3. A short walk in the fresh air. The air was 9F and may have frozen my brain cells but it did get blood pumping.
4. Re-reading the project to get back in the flow of it.
5. Timed writing. Set the timer, write. Write pure crap, write blithering gibberish, but write.
Things change around me too fast for my plans to adapt. I need looser plans. Or something. Nap sounds good!
My brain failed to show up this morning as well. Maybe it’s an epidemic. Or maybe it’s just Monday. *g*
Let’s see…chocolate…check. Herbal tea (Peppermint is invigorating. No coffee for me.)…check. A short walk…not on your life, it’s about 0 degrees farenheit with the wind chill. Re-reading the project…I’m actually rereading a book so I can start work on the next one in the series. I’ll pass on the timed writing. LOL I need to finish reading today so I can research tomorrow and try to start actually writing the book by Thursday or Friday.
Good luck in getting your brain to work. 🙂
Sounds like a good plan, NJ! My brain is coming online, slowly.
My brain didn’t show up either, and I’m at the dayjob. I had my whole day, including lunch, planned though and then they cancelled the meeting for this afternoon. Have to rethink lunch. What I really need is a nap. 🙂
Yup. It’s a Monday.
