Failure To Launch

It’s 6:48 am.

I just deleted 400 words.

The coffee just finished, I recorded a video I’ll put out later on our company’s Instagram feed, I have this vague desire to go to the basement and work out. I probably won’t but at least I feel like it, right?

I just deleted another 300.

Mornings are for work! At least I tell myself that. I’m lucky that the focus of my work is things other than e-mail and I’ve slowly learned to not become a slave to the inbox. Speaking of, there are 279 unread messages that I obviously could just batch delete but don’t. Why? I don’t know? Maybe because the thought of going through that many emails to verify I don’t need them is more work than I want to take on? That’s definitely it.

Also they clearly aren’t life changing and if I never looked at them I’d be no worse off. I’ve been hanging around 280 unread emails and 42 unlistened to voice mails for months now and the world hasn’t stopped turning. The math says something in there has got to be worth holding onto or reading.

People are starting to wake up around here so I’m leaving you with no real resolution. But know I will wake up with fewer than 279 tomorrow… that’s my goal today. I’m cleaning up my inbox.
