All caught up

Catching up feels great.

Though you can choose not to catch up with certain things, ever. After all, there's no time to stay up-to-date with everything.

Reaching inbox zero, cleaning up your phone's camera roll, or clearing your Desktop's files may not be important in your life, yet we're still doomed to behave the way digital systems want us to.

So, deciding which things matter helps you focus your energy there.

Catching up with my blogging schedule was one of those things for me.

I missed the deadline once, and my brain figured I could skip it twice. Now I'm back on schedule, and the posts for the previous weeks are live.

If you put your energy into the wrong things, you risk getting a false sense of productivity by doing things that didn't need to be done in the first place.
