Things I Will Do (And Not Do) on Vacation

1. I will find things to write other than to-do lists and emails.
2. I will rediscover my creative outlets.
3. I will sleep past 6:53 AM on a weekday.
4. I will not think about re-structuring, re-imagining, re-configuring anything that is not a physical object.
5. I will find a way to re-organize my freezer.
6. I will read books as a primary activity, rather than a thing I do while commuting on the bus, taking a bath or trying to fall asleep.
7. I will drink wine on my porch, next to my carrots and radishes, and listen to music without doing anything else.
8. I will exercise in the mornings, not on lunch breaks or before going to bed.
9. I will not check my work emails.
10. I will un-bury my home desk and find a new way to organize my computer and creative tools, perhaps without a desk.
11. I will find yoga poses that don’t stress my knee too much.
12. I will not complain about work.
13. I will change my narrative about work time versus creative time.
14. I will find a new project to write.
15. I will breathe.
