Got up at 5:00. Spent time in the bathroom and reading the news, most of it useless. Now I am writing.

I enjoy this time of writing. Even if I never go back and read it, which I suspect will be the case, it helps me organize thoughts and further who I am. I think that is valuable.

I am guessing there is a certain amount of writing that makes me more productive in other tasks through the day — maybe similar to exercising gives the body more energy, writing gives the brain more energy.

But what do I know.
