There are often days when I beat myself up for having wasted them. I then mentally do a list and find things like:

- making my bed

- making coffeee

- taking a long walk

- doing a load of washing ann putting it away

- always writing and reading on Medium

- talking or meeting with friends

- making dinner

And suddenly I realise I have done things, but I do wonder how I factored in full-time teaching and running marathons.That's where habitual mindfulness comes in. It makes us so aware.

Gratitude helps too.
