I love the idea of a daily routine. Slow and organized progress towards a goal, no struggles about deadlines or worries about productivity. It’s become so romanticized for me, this unattainable ideal of what I think progress needs to look like.
My experience with forward progress is not very conducive to a daily routine; it comes in unregulated, short, and often difficult to manage BURSTS of intense productivity, followed by much longer periods of wondering how to bottle those moments, how to regulate the spark of inspiration a little. Trying to trick it into appearing, trying to conjure it through willpower.
This song deals with my internal struggle between ambition and indulgence. The duality of how I perceive my “productivity” versus my “laziness” - and learning how to frame things without such a zero sum mentality. I’m trying to be in the moment, wherever that moment needs me to be.
