# Daily Inspiration: “Time is that thing you lose track of when you become far too immersed in your daily routine!”

*“Time is that thing you lose track of when you become far too immersed in your daily routine!”* – Futurist Jim Carroll

Apparently, it’s a holiday today for a good part of the world. I guess I didn’t get the memo!

So with that in mind, I’ll keep this short – these daily inspirations are how I start my day, enjoy my coffee, and set the pace for the way that the day ahead will unfold. I’ve been doing them, non-stop, every workday, since August 2016.

It’s a wonderful routine! More important, working on them helps me to focus on keeping my optimism intact, my initiative in place and my motivation fired up.

And I guess almost 5 years in, in the midst of a pandemic in which every day runs into the next one, it’s easy to lose sight of time! As they say, LOL!
