Day Job + Part Time Student + Full Time Dad = I’m Always Tired

Since I have been spreading my time across several projects lately, because I like to ensure that I’m always physically and mentally exhausted at all times, I want to add more to my plate.

I, like so many others, try to fit so many things into our every day routine that the days just end up blurring together. Days and weeks go by faster and faster each year and its easy to forget the small thoughts and daily experiences that add a little bit of extra joy in life.

Recently I added to my workload a new personal challenge to begin writing every day. Just something small, but while also trying to avoid my blog becoming just another diary. I wasn’t sure what would fit my vision of this challenge, but then I was inspired.

Last weekend, I began the first portion of Wood Badge training. For those of you not involved in Scouting, Wood Badge is the premier leadership training for the Boy Scouts program.

Each day, our Scout Master finished the day with a short recap of the day and a lesson that we could take away and think about.

This inspired me to want to do something similar, so I’m planning to share a lesson that I learned each day while also reenforcing a daily writing habit.

Just something quick, and hopefully thought provoking.

Starting tomorrow of course.
