Right now, hitting target before it’s time to be switching off for the day and keeping my inbox empty are pretty much the limit of my abilities. That’s ok, I can only work with so much going on, but it’ll be nice when things die down a bit and I can start reclaiming a workflow more like the start of this year. If I’m lucky, one that includes the wordcounts of July and August in more stable times.
For now, order is worth more than excelling, and maintaining the gains of the last few months is better than gambling them for ‘big wins’. So with that in mind, I’m going to stick with my current weight and activity level – 250 active minutes a week – and wait for the storm to blow over before I start chasing big lifestyle changes. That’s a lot less stressful.

I’m Sam, and I live to write. I spent most of the first 8 years of my adulthood trying to balance writing with a large amount of crap in my personal life, until towards the end of 2018 I threw everything out and started afresh with just my writing. I built the new me around one goal: I have to write at least 1,000 words a day. I called this goal 1K, and it changed my life. So long as I write a thousand words a day, the day is a success, and atop that I've managed over time to build the life I wanted all those years.
My greatest flaws as a writer is I still use too many adjectives, adverbs, connectives as openers, accidental passive voice and I don't force my work down people's throats enough on pain of extreme and unusual torture. My greatest strength is I know my greatest flaws and I'm working on them.
