I've written about [the *what*, the *why*](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/what-is-an-intention-and-why-is-it-important), and the [*how*](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/how-do-you-set-an-intention). Now, how about when despite best intentions, it all falls apart?

A workout sometime today would be awesome. I have to pee. And I’m sitting here typing this article — with, I might add, no business typing this article. Why? No time.
