Brain Not Required Work

Last night,
I hit the wall
brain-wise.

My brain was
empty.
Nothing was happening
up there.

But I still had energy
and I had time.

So I completed
tasks
that didn’t require any thought.

I shredded confidential
documents.

I shared social media posts
writing buddies
had crafted
to help them sell books.

I organized
the tax file.

I put some mailing
together.

Those tasks had to be completed
but I had saved them
for times like last night,
times when my brain
wasn’t working properly.

Save some
no-thought-required tasks
for when you are past
the point of thinking.
