In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Forward Drive.”
What is the one thing that drives you to wake up in the morning and do whatever it is you do? Is it writing, family, friends, or something else entirely?
Do I have a choice in this matter, as the case may be? Even on mornings when my inner motivational battery is low and I feel like camping some more on top of my cosy bed, human needs wade into my cocooned brain.
From waking the kids to make sure they get ready for school, to a hurried breakfast and a to-do list as long as my arm, my inner engine revs to go.
I am a morning person and I love to wade into all the task while my tank is still full.
Over the years, a force of habit of making a to do list the previous night before sleeping has helped in taming a day that could otherwise spiral into a runaway event, which would in turn leave me dissatisfied, when I review how much in road I made with the items that had to be attended to.
Naturally, the contents of my list vary each day based on the exigencies of that day and it can always be found by my bedside table along with a jotter (just in case I wake up in the middle of the night with a thought on my mind) and whatever literal work that has caught my fancy at that moment.

I also keep a notebook and pen by my bedside and in my purse to carry with me at all times. And on top of that I use the Notes section on my smartphone all the time lol Don’t know how to function without it!

You need to see me on a day that I per chance leave the house without my notepad; my face looks like a thunderstorm, but thankfully my phone comes to the rescue 🙂 it doesn’t feel the same, but helps to avert a meltdown 🙂

I’ve never been a morning person, however I do like staying awake to watch the morning come and then go to sleep! I am like you in making lists for everything so I know what I want to accomplish each day. I don’t always have the motivation to do them, but that can just give you more things to do tomorrow! 😉
