Routine Maintenance

We get into this daily routine of making sure our schedules are constantly filled with doing something so we always feel productive.

I have been realizing that I have these really cool long term dreams that I would love see become a reality, but instead of placing goals as stepping stones toward that dream I end up focusing on the insignificant "gnats" so that, by the end of the day, I can feel good about "how much I've done". When it comes down to it, is how much I've done more important, or how much I've accomplished?

When I glance back on my past 26 years, I find how time has shaped me into who I've become. I don't see the Breadbowl of Baked Potato soup I had from St Louis Bread Company, how far buying that pair of shorts from Hollister got me, or the B i got on my math test in high school when it could have been an A+. That makes me think; twenty years from now, how significant will the choices I am making now be?

That kind of adds a different perspective to my daily routine.
