Hi, @samsmith1971. My sincere apologies for only answering your comment now after such a long delay. Somehow, I've missed it...but I have to admit, I also had to do a bit of a balancing act over the last couple of weeks...

Writing this comment at 3 am. in the morning? Wow! But as you say, you got a good night's sleep the night before, so yes, that's understandable. And then it's a great time for some writing while everything is peaceful and quiet.

I have also noted when I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night and I get up to do some writing (or any kind of working activity for that matter) that is often when I am most productive...

But I am glad you enjoyed my post and that it got you thinking...

Yes, the example about time with the family...maybe you can guess why I have chosen that as an example...lol.

Although it's not always the case for me to use examples in this way...I would often use random examples...but in this case, I was also talking to myself. I'm paying close attention to that now, but not so long ago, I came to realize that spending more time with my loved ones was actually one of my main goals, and I was doing the exact opposite.

I caught myself becoming so "obsessed" with the activities of working towards the goal, that the actual goal got lost in the process.

Anyhow, I do hope you got some good sleep again after writing this great comment to my post.

I want to thank you for adding value to my post with your comment.

Have an awesome day!
