Habits and coffee: I need both. Though the latter refreshes for the moment, the former contributes to a happy life. How difficult the discipline to form habits, maybe especially living out of a hotel room. I’m wanting to set up routines to spend time well and, frankly, feel good about being here. Ripped out of my happy home for two weeks, everything’s different: eating, sleeping, bathing, dressing and even my daily cup of joe. This morning, my fourth here, I asked myself why I’m still drinking coffee from a paper cup? Not a good habit. Tomorrow I’ll buy a real mug, allowing a better coffee drinking habit and doubling as a Chicago souvenir. My dear, you are certainly not a habit, but a thousand habits involve you. Being here, you-less, makes building two-week habits a challenge.
