Passive Zip

After a very productive day, I feel somewhat paralyzed at the moment; not really wanting to do one thing or the other.

I've gained a little insight apropos of this situation. It's one that I put into practice earlier today but for some reason I have not looked into for the past hour or so. It's this: that when I feel this way, it usually means there's something I want to do that I am avoiding for some reason. Right now, it's to go outside and burn my pile of personal documents. Burning is what I do in lieu of using a shredder, which I don't have. It's nothing really sensitive or even entirely personal. Perhaps the lack of symbolic meaning makes the task seem less interesting?

I think I'll continue the experiment from this morning. Now that I've typed about it a bit, I think I'll simply go outside and do it. I can't imagine that it's less productive than sitting in my chair wondering what it is I ought to do next.

Good night, all.
