The Devil

Disclaimer: On my computer sits a folder of unpublished essays. They're hilarious to read back, especially the moody ones (I'll share one of them some day). The following was written 2 years ago. In true Omono fashion I've procrastinated this monthly goal of mine, but just in the nick of time, we've posted in February! (it's already March in London and Nigeria 😬 but small details). Either way, in these last few hours of February I present you: "The Devil".  

"His name is Laziness and he has gripped me. Perhaps it's because of my night owl schedule, but I feel I don't accomplish much during my days. I sleep, eat, work, and drag myself out every now and then but I am not in a constant schedule that allows me to build upon the things I want. 
So what do I want? There's a long list, but I've just read something that suggests I start with small goals. Regardless I will list all the things I would like to eventually accomplish

• I want to learn to speak French. I can accomplish this by signing up for a language class at Valley college. 
• I want to learn to play the piano. I have even bought a piano but it sits in my garage untouched
• I want to surf. I need to buy a surfboard and a wetsuit and I can make it a point to go to the beach every Saturday morning
• I want to make my next dance video. This is very accomplishable. I need to first choreograph the routine I want, find the space and a fellow dancer. I already know who would help me shoot this and I know it will bring me immense joy to share it
• I want to write more consistently. This is also something that is very attainable. I can write something even if it is very short during my work shift. 

These last 2 bullet points are things I can implement relatively soon. The writing goal I can start immediately. The dance video one will take a bit more planning."

Real time: Look how much has NOT changed! 🙄Le sigh. March will be better.
