Today felt like less of a productive day than yesterday for sure. I didn’t churn out as many drawings, and the day is slowly coming to an end. Clarice is away at a staff retreat, so my mental clock timing of what to do when is kinda all over the place. I’m not really that hungry cause I ate so much for lunch, and lunch in itself was so carb heavy, that I just feel satiated. I’m just nice.
I had planned to do something, but I wasn’t too sure what. I moved the things in my store room around a whole bunch, and now there’s a lot of good space in the store, to which I could move things out, and make more space in the rooms and all that.
While I was doing all that, I decided to listen to the Joe Rogan Podcast, the one he did recently with David Choe. As I was listening, it really struck me: he’s just recording this podcast for a few hours. He’s spent the day working out, and doing things with his family, and his work is really just sitting down and talking with people all day.
A part of me really felt like I want to have that life. To be aware of what makes me tick, and to make that as productive as possible. He gets paid to sit down and talk with people, and that in itself is something to do. The better part of it is that he still has to do research, he still has to put in time for other things and real friends, running other businesses and all that, and yet, he’s still got his main thing down so well.
If I guess one of the key things in life is finding the meaning in work, and if that’s a positive example of finding meaning in work, I think that would be an ideal to live towards. Perhaps I really ought to start recording more of my conversations with people as we go along. It really might lead to some good things happening.
