Getting Out of a Funk
"Time spent without purpose is easily forgotten"- Robert Trajkovski
While on vacation the other day I stated moping around. Everything seemed to bother me and I had no peace. I was on vacation and not feeling great and relaxing. I was in a funky mood.
I quickly realized what was missing. I needed a creative endeavor to fill my mind. So I sat down and created 52 small ebooks. Yes, you read that correct, 52 small ebooks.
In the last two years I have written two books based on my blog posts. At the end of the year I take the posts, organize them by topic, and heavily edit them into a book. So this process is one of reorganizing by topic.
My friend Naren, during a walk, suggested that there are many products that can be extracted from my work. I quickly realized that each topic could be an ebook of its own. That is what I did. I took the last two books, combined them, and extracted each topic into a new word file.
The work took me two and a half hours. It was so pleasurable that I immediately felt great. All I needed was a little creative time to get me out of my funk.
Today's question is:
"How do you get out of a funk?"
