The reality of my daily grind is that life’s mundane tasks eat up most of my time: Checking email. Monkeying around on the Internet. Watching television. Filling out reports. These activities are my true priorities. I’ve always claimed that my priorities are grandly important activities like spending time with family or exercising or carving out enough alone time to write. But they’re not. Until I actually put these pursuits first, until I make these undertakings part of my everyday routine, they are not my actual priorities.
