It’s always been easier to slip than to climb.
Falling out of a good habit takes almost no effort. Falling into a bad one barely registers on the difficulty scale. And when work and life really start moving I tend to default to the version of myself that trades long term stability for short term output.
I start valuing the immediacy of the work over the maintenance of the person doing it.
It’s not new. It’s a loop I’ve run before, and one I’ll run again. That part doesn’t concern me as much anymore.
What matters is that I’ve started to recognize the pattern early. More importantly, I know what pulls me back out.
Back to it.
