Prioritizing myself.

Specifically, my health and my writing.

Every day I go to bed with the intention of getting up in the morning, and doing my little stretching and light yoga regimen. 15-20 minutes, tops.

Every day, I fail to do that.

The tv series I am writing is ready for some real, head down, hands on the keyboard, work. Every day I plan to spend an hour in the evening working on it.

Most days, I fail to do that. (Despite the enthusiastic support of my wife who - whenever I say "I want to do some writing" - will immediately make room for me to do so.)

So I am totally empowered to do these two things, and very excited to do them.

But I don't.

So. What's holding me back? I have no idea.
