I need to wrap a few more Christmas presents today. I got out the wrapping paper and scissors and Scotch tape and put them on the table, near my laptop, so that I can see them sitting there and will be motivated to use them. But first I want to write at least an entry or two. I tend now to feel distracted and out of sorts if I do not write something during the early hours of each day, even if what I write is unimportant.
