Another BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious) today:

When I come home tired, cook a meal, and realize that I don't feel like I have any energy to write...

...I can choose to write anyway.

As I re-read the first chapter of Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People today, I experienced another blinding flash of the obvious.

Covey wrote about the "P/PC Balance." "P" stands for Productivity, and "PC" for Productive Capacity. He encourages finding time for both work and your capacity to work.

I realized that I tend towards a Productivity imbalance. I create stuff so much that I burn out. I need to feed my capacity.

How, though? Watching movies? Reading books? And how much?
