Time: Then and Now (part two)

Six weeks after Time: Then and Now, I found that it's so easy to revert to previous attitudes and actions.

Applying the twelve steps to my personal productivity provides a sense of ease and peace; my entire day is purposeful; things don't go undone. It's the twelfth step in action - the way we're supposed to live.

As the Big Book tells us, it's easy to let up on this spritual program of action and rest on our laurels. In terms of personal productivity, that's exactly what I'd been doing since mid-November. I was busy, even productive, but I did not have the ability to relax and take it easy as the Big Book instructs us.

These last weeks, I've come back around to it. I'm learning how important it is to emotional sobriety to apply the twelve steps even in the most mundane, everyday tasks.
