Nike got it right.

Just Do It.

Brilliance in only three, one-syllable words.

I spend so many days busily living the norm. Whatever the time of year, days have a certain flow and rhythm, regular and habitual tasks, and the occasional moment of spontaneity where life feels a little more fun and free.

There’s also an on-going and ever evolving list playing on repeat reel in my mind. To-dos, yes, but also want-to-dos. Should dos. Wish I coulds. And someday whens.

Here’s where Just Do It must’ve been born. Maybe we all have such a list playing like background music in our private thoughts. And instead of just thinking and dreaming and planning and wishing and waiting and … hoping … we should just do it already.

Whatever it is.

As of this morning:

• write every day
• open an Etsy shop
• ride my bike to work
• morning yoga
• make a salad
• make do
• sit with it
• invest in photography lighting and a new tripod
• (see make do)
• save
• mend that missing button
• floss
• take a pottery lesson
• experiment with photographing people (kids especially!)
• experiment with minimalism in photography
• walk the beach
• put down my phone
• finish that book
• train for another marathon (or half … or 5K)
• walk after dinner
• climb a mountain

Whatever shall I do today?
