So the “sunlight before screens” method had immediate results. Productivity was at a new high that I rarely ever experienced, and I was able to take on some things that were looming over me for years.

The first of it involved paper shredding. We’re talking papers that were decades old. Like “primary bank changed multiple names” kind of old. The same for former employment documents and other things that should be digital now.

The closet was the next step. While still picking at things inside it here and there, many things that were no longer needed or even forgot about were either trashed, donated, or other means of disposal. Still have a ways to go.

Another good one is having the drive to write ahead of time again. Since returning from my September break, I was feeling a bit sluggish trying to get something up and ready for the next regular days. It may be a bit before I’m over a month ahead like before, but I’ll get there.

Now I know the sunlight/screen thing isn’t a surefire method of being productive in everyone’s life. Some of you have schedules and obligations that might not even come close to anything I’m doing. But whatever works for us in a healthy way is something to clearly keep going with.

Maintaining it will be the wild part, but the good feelings gained from all the examples I mentioned will make it easier to do.
