“John Wick Mode” is the title I use for this all-focus, no distraction approach. This week will be the first week I’ll go for the full five days. Last week, I stopped on Wednesday because I was just cognitively exhausted. “John Wick Mode” is in effect for this week, Monday through Friday. The goal is to be more productive with the writing. Did it work the last two weeks? The first week: Yes. The second week: No. Instead, I read a lot which I’m not really going to blame myself for doing since it has helped with building focus for an extended period of time. Something I crave.

I’m currently reading “Trust Exercise” by Susan Choi. It was a selection I wouldn’t normally go for, but I’m reading it to expand my horizons. I’m 60 pages in and I am enjoying it.
