Although I have really taken a deep dive into Lumosity –– a website that promotes brain activity –– and through a few minutes of daily training my Brain Profile Index has doubled in the last 19 days (according to them) … tonight I had a moment of thinking, “What the hell is wrong with me?”
I had the oddest realization tonight when I was reflecting for a moment about the day and actually thought, “Did I really get anything done today?”
And then I realized that it had been jammed packed –– starting with my teaching a 7 am yoga private –– and yet somehow felt as though nothing had happened.
It may have been because every activity felt so complete.
Once something happened –– like a phone conference with the ad people at The Face Place to get some important info for the novel’s marketing campaign –– it was so absorbed that there was almost no looking back.
[I once felt when I had the nicest part-time subletter in NYC who would pop into town when I was coming home from a production meeting for a 24/7 project, that it was too exhausting to relate all the updates since last month, mostly because it felt like game-changing events were happening on the hour.]
Anyway, beyond the above, today also included a serious return to jumping rope (30 minutes) + a truly productive if not Breakthrough Level Creative Client Call + I wrote a 7 page marketing outline for the novel + I started figuring out the complex equation of when Belle and I will have to leave our Magical Space (all because of a third-party real estate transaction that’s pending) which might overlap with my 10 days in Cancun + another half-dozen things I’m still forgetting.
Oh Lumosity, even though apparently I’m extraordinarily gifted at feeding the animated Koi fish –– a memory and multi-tasking game –– and also at a puzzle matching game called Disillusion, why don’t you have some kind of specialized training to help me maintain a memory (or at least a sense) of the morning’s accomplishments!
