Over the last few months, I’ve felt more distracted, less productive, and substantially more irritable. This morning, I wondered at why.
My conclusion is that (like most things in life) it stems from my environment.
Compared to three months ago:
- I sold my home and now live in a different apartment,
- I’ve torn my shoulder, making it difficult to do many of the things I liked doing (sports and exercise particularly),
- I have new long-term health goals, along with dietary needs,
Given these significant changes, it’s not surprising I’ve veered off of the productive path I so carefully designed for myself last year.
Unfortunately, the added friction in my life is causing me to to self-select away from beneficial behaviors and towards negative ones, and this is manifesting as the symptoms I described above.
But not all is lost!
