I went to the supermarket this morning and bought lots of items ready to make lots of dishes for the freezer. My intention was to make a curry, a lasagne, a cowboy pie and a casserole. It didn't happen!
Instead, I made the big mistake of picking up a book, before long my enthusiasm for cooking had disappeared.
Tomorrow I will cook - that is, unless I pick up my book again.
I enjoy cooking but it's such a long time since I've read for pleasure (I graduated from a MA (Master of Arts) course, last week and reading something other than academic papers and other research material had become a rare event).
I think it's important to prioritise tasks in a day, but sometimes it's equally important to do just what we want to do. We have a saying in England "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". This means we must find time to do the things we have to do, but also do things we enjoy doing.
What are your hobbies?
What gives you pleasure?
What would you rather do than work?

I also like walking and swimming.
It's really typical for some people to be distracted by a more appealing activity. At least, yours is very productive.
I have lots of hobbies. Whatever my hands finds, I always do it with so much gusto. It can be because of my curiosity over a lot of things. I always work with pleasure.
Life is always full of challenges, isn't it?
Sometimes I can forego my night sleep just because I want to finish reading a book. :D :D :D So I ended up go to the office with bleary eyes. :D :D
