Good, Bad, and Terrible Habits
My life unfolds within certain boundaries: waking up early, getting ready, taking my daughter to school, parking and walking to work if it rains, then of course working until it's time to clock out, picking up my daughter from school, playing with her until dinner, feeding her, bathing her, preparing her for bed, having dinner with my wife, and putting our little girl to sleep. After that, I try to do something to unwind a bit (nothing too lengthy) before heading to bed.
Throughout all this, my day is filled with various distractions, including passions, temptations, vices, and desires. For example: music, my laziness, compulsive eating, and the desire to start jogging again without taking time away from the important things (my daughter, my wife, prayer...). At the end of the day, I reflect—when I'm not too tired to think—and I usually realize that I haven't found enough quiet time, that I didn't do everything I could have, that I ate too much and poorly, and that, in the end, I mostly thought about myself.
