Routines are good. Routines have helped me so much in the last month and a half to really start getting more things accomplished, especially the things that I wanted to get accomplished. In some ways, it even gave me freedom because it allowed me to understand when it was okay to work and when it’s okay to play.

Working in an office is slowly killing a part of me. I knew that very soon I was going to need to get out and do something. Something out of the city. More secluded.

Today, I realized that I had tomorrow off and Friday I could work remotely so I felt like there would never be a more perfect time.

So here I am, the same evening. I got a guy I’ve know for about a month to also go with me and we’re just going to go and backpack and explore for the next four days over near Big Ben National Park.

Sometimes, you just have to be ready to pack up and go. If you have some routines, use them as guides. Abide by it but be okay with exploring.

Sometimes, you just need to be ready to go.
