The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don’t have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
You know when you get to a point where, like a moment where your normal day is just a blank page? Where is there a point in your day where you decide to stop and really think about what you’re doing? I know I have. There are plenty of times when I just sit down to write, or read, or work on something without stopping to consider what I’m doing.
The most common habit I find is to make notes of stuff like “The day’s not over, I just made a note,” or “My dad was out of town on vacation, so I’m not going to be able to tell you when he is gone.” Sometimes I just make a note of something that I was about to say, so I can catch up on what was said or what I’m doing.
