I spend a ton of time focusing on what' coming next. What's the next step, what's the next move? That kind of thing. I was thinking about it last night actually. So, what if that's wrong? What if I'm not spending enough time in "right now?"

I'm a big planner. I like making plans and try hard not to change them. It gives me something to look forward to. It also gives me something to focus on. You know me, I get really mentally bored really quickly. I still enjoy my day to day stuff. I don't want to say that I don't live "in the now." But I may not focus quite as much on what's going on around me as I should. I say may not because I think I do an ok job. My day to day stuff is a routine, and I like my routine. And I'll still continue to plan. Weekends don't come fast enough normally. And it seems like I'm running pretty much all day every weekend. Which is great! I'm a social guy, I like interacting with people. But I think for the short term at least I'm going to just live in the moment and make sure those moments are amazing.

“When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.” John M. Richardson Jr
