Switching It Up

So, generally, most of the last few years I've usually gone out late, maybe to a bar or something, to write.  And then I've slept in.  I think I'm going to try changing it up and just go to sleep early and then get up early on a Saturday or Sunday and hit up a coffee shop in the city.

I was trying to find some new places to write instead of bars, but noticed all the coffee shops closed at like 7 or 5 in the evening.  But they open up at like 5 or 7am.

So, I guess the coffeeshops culture is that it's an early bird gets the worm type of deal.

I'm usually a night owl.  But, there is some research that suggests early birds instead of night owls do tend to be more successful in life.

I feel as though it couldn't hurt to give it a go and try for an early Saturday or Sunday coffeeshop experience to start my day!

My plan is to try and check out as many of these coffeeshops from this article as I can in 2017....

We'll see what happens!  I do like my sleeping in, I have to admit to that.  Maybe if I got up, went to the gym, and then on to the coffeeshop.  Might be a good way to stay motivated through the weekend instead of getting all lazy and loungey.

I mean as I type this, I'm in my PJs still.  Although I'm about to get dressed and go out for a bit to help a friend with a computer issue that I just got a call about earlier today.

To be fair I was pretty productive today even in my PJs.  I cleaned, and rearranged and sorted and worked on more final touches of this new song...

But, it still feels like I haven't accomplished much since I'm still not showered and dressed.

Anyways, so, maybe I'll try early birding it a bit this year instead of staying out late and sleeping in.
