When I was trying to run again after all these years, I used
a pacer to keep time and distance. It helped but, what with all the recurring
injuries, I had to give up on the running. I haven’t really considered using
one for walking mostly because, when I use the pacer, I tend to set it faster
and faster and then, I’d be running again and injured, so…
I have, however, given thought to the use of a pacer to get
through the daily routine. I think this would be a fantastic app to have on
hand. Instead of slowly drudging through my daily chores, I would set the pacer
and get through them with diligence and within a reasonable time. No more
letting those books that call to me interrupt my mission. No more Hulu or
Netflix crying out for me to catch up on those series that I cannot stay up
late enough to watch during the school year. Nope. Those things would have to
wait until after the necessaries were complete. Ok, except for ‘THE BLACKLIST’.
NOTHING stands in the way of me catching up on that one.
I would pace myself through the dishes and the laundry.
Through the cleaning of the bathrooms and the vacuuming. Even through cooking
and all that outdoor work that I am so easily distracted from doing. The pacer
app would set my pace and I would work my way through the grueling tasks in
record time and then be able to do activities on my want-to list.
Or maybe I'll just hire that maid.
Do y’all think a pacer would help you get through your daily
routines?
