Distracted and Wasteful

So it has been awhile since I've written... which is really too bad, because I love writing. I'm trying to think of a good reason why my last blog post was November 8, and I can't come up with one. Yeah I've been busy, but how long does this really take? And no matter how long it takes to write a post or what else I could be doing during that time, it always seems to be worth it. I never feel worse after getting my thoughts down. Actually, I always seem to feel better.

Thinking about this made me wonder what other things I do this to. What else do I push aside because I apparently don't have the time? Not things like cleaning my room which I don't really care about anyway, but things I genuinely want to do. I love reading but I haven't done that nearly enough. I don't call my friends from home or talk to them as much as I should or would like. I haven't knit for enjoyment in quite some time. None of these are things I have to do and sometimes I need to put unnecessary things aside in order to make sure I get the important ones accomplished. But I do not need to push them aside so I can check my email 5 times in an hour hoping an email will pop up so I can have something to do for five minutes. I think I would be so much happier if I spent that extra time doing the things I liked rather than the meaningless things. Why I waste so much time on is still a mystery to me.
