Finally Back Home!

I haven't been in my apartment for more than 2 weeks since July. This trip, two weeks after Iceland, we hit Chicago, Albuquerque, Kona, Hilo, Honolulu, Kauaii, and Houston. I'm utterly exhausted. I got sick twice, my computer died, and I thought I lost my proposal, which was around 9 months of work (happily I got it back). 

Looking back over my notes I'm surprised at how much I've managed to do in regards to my habits. It's nowhere near perfect - I have huge gaps, but whenever I had time, I was working, meditating, mobilizing, and when I had a set amount of time not traveling I even did my meal prep. This was unthinkable even last year.

Somewhere along the way, I also started to get a better feel for writing. The Pomodoros, the idea of being able to fit in a quick session here and there – and the new format I have to deal with multiple rewrites – have done wonders for me. In addition, the new format for habits I alluded to in a previous post (I'm getting around to a bigger post on it) seems to be helping everything move along.

I have some more travel coming up, but thankfully I'll have a few months before then. I'm not back to my usual regularity, but I'm bouncing back!
