I honestly can’t think of one. There are mundane things, like following through on a plan to mow the lawn or do laundry or tend to something that needs fixing.
Maybe the closest I come is maintaining this morning routine that’s been happening for nine years now– getting up early and writing. It started on a whim, as something to try, but now has become a habit, a routine, something I value.
I still consider it my time, still make the effort, but it seems I don’t need it as much as I used to when I was active as a pastor and my day was a bit more structured. Even the anticipation of that first sip of coffee is becoming less of a motivator as time goes on– I’ve been hitting the snooze button more than I used to, not getting up quite as early.
