Hello, everyone welcome to another DailyJim today is Tuesday, I think August 30th, 2022. I think these days often live so much across time zones that I forget which day it is and also the power went out yesterday if you listen to the episode. So that kind of threw a wrench and everything. Um today is going to be another short episode and what I want to talk about doing things when we don't necessarily want to do them, but kind of want to do them, but don't necessarily want to do them. It's very long title, so maybe I'll shorten it. But this idea of Me forgetting once again that I was supposed to do an episode today. Power was out for 20 hours and it was the result of a tree branch falling onto the overhead lines. I talked to one of the people who was from the tree trimming company that was trying to fix it and yeah, this lost sense of time, this unawareness of where I am based on the power going out and helping neighbors with generators and things like this. Um but also trying to live across time zones and forgetting that I was going to record an episode today, so I'm going to bed early and I go wait a second episode episode, supposed to do an episode Oh goodness. And I wonder, you know something I thought about a lot in terms of do people in certain environments have a tendency to commit to do things even if they don't fully want to do them in the moment. I remember living in California and I noticed that a lot of people would make plans and then they would just not show up and they would cancel. You know, they say they would flake out a lot and having grown up in michigan where it snows a lot, um I wonder if that plays into it, where the idea is like, if I show up to an event, and I woke up, got outside, clean the snow off my car, scrape the ice off the windshield, warmed up, the car shoveled the driveway, did all that fun stuff, and I showed up and the other person did not show up. And so I wonder if weather especially has an impact on whether people will hm Do something, even if they don't 100% want to do it in the moment. And, you know, inclement weather versus a place that has kind of predictable weather where it's maybe easier to say, well, people didn't struggle so hard to get here, so maybe it's okay if I don't show up, Who knows? Anyway, so I wonder if that's something that's been instilled in my we say instilled in blood, but I don't really know if it's in the blood more so in the muscles and maybe the neurons, but who knows? And yeah, and so that's why I'm sitting here, with, like, half a voice saying, trying, to just give a little episode and a little, maybe late heart in this for today, and keep it short, so I can actually go do the thing that I also want to do, I think I wanted to do this, and that's why I did the episode, but I also want to sleep and set my phone down, so. If you're listening, that's uh the episode for today, man. I contracted today into tae. But uh, yeah, So I will talk to you all tomorrow. Take care.
