First day of a new week. Lots of things waiting to be done. Once again I started the day not with writing, but getting a couple of more urgent things done first so I can fully focus on this.
It's definitely harder to start writing if it's not the first thing. After I got the urgent matters dealt with I was already looking what to do next so that I wouldn't have to start writing. I really had to drag me writing instead so it wouldn't end up being the last thing I need to do for the day.
To be honest, none of the things I did before starting to write was that important that they couldn't wait after I'd had written. They were just easy excuses to postpone starting it.
But it was also a good exercise of self-discipline: could I force myself to write after doing something else first, or will I keep procrastinating until the evening like usually? It's good to know I can. For those situations when there really is something more important that needs to be done first thing in the morning before having the luxury of spending some time writing.
