It’s hard to pinpoint the moment that we get trapped in a rut, but today I feel inclined to blame long-term goals and detailed planning. At some point, the day-to-day (i.e. minor details that are often overlooked when aiming for your goal) becomes so monotonous that it slowly sucks the life out of you. Or rather, it slowly had sucked the life out of you, and before you even knew it, you were dead – but a brainless zombie making your way about. And where once a task was a tiny step that brought you closer to your goal, it became the bane of your existence.
