I appreciate those trees
My personal changelog tracking reveals some important connections. Late last week, ITECS training disrupted my routine and affected the changelog. This week, root canals and a general feeling of misery continued the disruption.

One thing I noticed is a propensity to rationalize more beer when events feel out of control. I even dropped the “social beer only” section from the changelog, because it’s clear that’s just ripe for failure. This tendency comes from a time when I was usually the cause of life feeling out of control. I would over think things, getting bent out of shape over the state of this and that. A few beers provided a distraction, and also reminded me of undeniably enjoyable times past.
Maybe that algae makes us look like we're going green.
My most significant observation about the changelog is how one missing piece can bring down the whole lot. The first week of my changelog, I was religious on addressing all items. The fact that I would have to report to my changelog what was going on acted as an additional push forward.

When some anchor items from the list were disrupted, such as math problems and pushups, everything else went south. I’m reminded of high school, when I noticed the busier I got, the easier it was to finish things. What I mean is, during football season when my daily routine was packed from morning to night, I was more likely to study and finish projects. After football, when my evenings suddenly opened up, I procrastinated more and generally applied less importance to other things I needed to do.
Aww... Do I have to?
For me, this means two things:
- If the current routine is full of things important to me, then even the few non-important parts of the routine still need to attending to.
- If some major items on the current routine lose their luster, but cannot be responsibly ignored, perhaps neglecting a few non-important parts will cause a general disruption, wherein the whole stack of cards comes tumbling down uncontrollably, and I’ll have no choice but to put it back together, maybe leaving out some major parts that I previously thought were essential.
