Brendan McMurtry-Howlett - Thought #1 - Adults Work 9 to 5

Hi there, this is Brendan McMurtry-Howlett, I'm the Resident Thinker for March, sooooo welcome.  I'm going to be honest with you, I stayed up really late last night trying to finish a grant. And you know what? I kind of enjoyed it. I've wrestling a lot recently with trying to adhere to a self-imposed 9 to 5 structure for my independent work, I don't know I guess to make myself feel like an adult. I guess it makes me think about the strength that comes from going with the flow and responding to impulses rather than forcing an imposed structure. Yes, I may wish I were a responsible adult who could get things done in a reasonable manner, but the reality is that I'll waste far less energy and time if I stop fighting my own personal work habits, and just ride the waves when they come. Maybe I should take up surfing…
