April 20

Some good things happened today. 

Derek Chauvin was convicted on all counts. Right result.

I went for a 7-mile bike ride on a gorgeous spring evening.

I took a couple hours off. Enjoyed myself. Listened to a lot of music - Bakar to Bach to Vulfpeck.

I've got a gig to prepare for in a month or so. What happens if I hit the woodshed a bit every single day?

This is what I'm working on right now. To take one step at a time, intentionally. I need to forget getting the perfect plan for every week. It's more important to execute an imperfect but OK plan than it is to have a perfect plan and not execute anything.

For the upcoming grants, my attitude is "let me just throw some words together on the page that, while they may be imperfect, have my gusto and passion behind them." Might as well be damn interested in what I'm proposing. For the CAREER 1st attempt: I have a feeling what the panel will say. I don't care. I'm interested in this idea and want to see where it goes.

I'm at my best when I forget myself. When I forget about thinking about concentrating and just dissolve - without thinking. Whatever it takes to get into the groove.
