I had a suprisingly productive day today. I sorted/deleted several hundred e-mails that were sitting in my inbox. I made a significant dent in the trash heap that my bedroom has become. I planted my herb garden. Okay, so that’s only three things that I got done that I don’t do every Monday, but I am totally hyped about my productivity.

What did you get accomplished today?

To what do you attribute this surge in productivity?

I went to the dentist, the bank, and the barber shop. Then I composed and sent off an important email. It’s a difficult life.

I worked 10 hours.  
Then I pet my cat.  
I’m tired.

I wrote for 3 1/2 hours straight on Sunday. Did only an hour and a half today, though. But I’m gonna write for another four hours tomorrow.

My secret? Stranding myself at a cafe with absolutely nothing else to do.
