READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He makes the case for the - ALMOST - nonexistence of biological differences between men and women.  He acknowledges that women have always been the child bearers, and that is a definite biological difference between the sexes.  But he contends that - MOST - of the perceived differences between the sexes have their roots in imaginations of Sapiens.  He hasn't said "...the imaginations of MALE Sapiens"... yet.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I have to cut out the crap, distractions, etc. from my life, and in so doing, will allow more time for writing.

My distractions are:

1.  cell phone

2.  news shows

3.  pornography

I can say "good riddance" to pornography.  But I choose to maintain limited access to news shows, and to my cell phone.  For example, yesterday morning, I turned it off during my entire routine.  That was too much, because I needed to set my alarm & timer for certain elements of my routine.  So today, I kept my phone on.

Trying to use a reasonable approach.  I can control my time, I've done it a lot, and will continue to do it.  Perhaps when I get to the point of actually writing, during the actual writing blocks of time, I will turn my phone off, leave my TV off, and definitely not watch any pornography.  

*****************

Yesterday, David's call was welcome relief from the torture I felt almost all day.  So he says that one of his colleagues upstream has found out that he (the colleague) will be paid millions on Monday; that should mean that Michael will get HIS "millions" on Monday, too.  We'll see.

The difficulty I have every time this sequence cycles through my life is, I have to face several days with no news and nothing substantial to do:  Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and probably most of Monday.
