Leave it to the chattering voices droning in my head. They destroyed a wonderful plan, a plan filled with rest, relaxation and fun. No writing, no lists, no alarm clocks, no worries. Morning coffee, a deep breath, the voices saw an opening and jumped.
“Hello?” they said. “You’ve had your coffee? Awake? Feeling rested? You’re always saying you’re busy, you don’t have time. We see you’re not busy right now. Is it a good time? Nothing major. A few words perhaps?”
Can you say “Guilt” with a capital “G”? Well played voices. How can I say no? Yeah, okay, a few words. They are a sneaky bunch, you must watch them, anticipate their subterfuge. A few words, then a few words more, became filled pages. Devious, they are. They artfully derailed my plans, advanced their agendas, and made sure I had a fun day.
Do your voices interrupt your plans?

The voices in my head rarely give me useful advice. Usually they just tell me to click the icons on my favorites bar. WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, repeat. I’m going now to change my passwords and lock myself out.

Oh no. Don’t lock yourself out. At least not for too long. We would miss you Jeff. Maybe a little writing therapy?

I still have access on my laptop, just not on my phone or work computer.

Yes, but I try and limit the interruptions by providing time in the late evening or early mornings. But Yes, sometimes I have to find a scrap of paper to capture something. I love listening!
