 As I step back in search of the starting point, 3 things keep coming to mind. The first is Simon Sinek [[Start With Why]].

 My New Year's resolution for 2023 was to spend my time more purposefully. It is easy to get into the plop and watch rut. Especially when it gets dark at 4:00pm and the weather is poor. I've resolved to stay focused on making progress. It doesn't mean I can't watch stuff. It does mean that binge watching is out and I need to combine watching with something more productive.
