Please do not leave feedback or comments.  Thank you.

Just for today I am committing to doing my eight hours of work before using other media. The exceptions are the following: posting about progress on PA, a scheduled twelve step meeting, media used for exercising. I want to be doing eight hours of uninterrupted work daily.  Will check in on my progress later.

I also choose to do my routine, until I'm able to get surgery: brush teeth/floss, exercise (steps + cardio video X2), breakfast, pills, shower. [Edit: 12:25am]. I did it!

Checking in at EOD:

I did go on Twitter sadly toward the beginning of the day.  I did navigate there for a minute before navigating away.  I know that both occasions added up to less than five minutes.  My work browser is set to block at ten minutes.  Aside from that I was good about media.  There were some times when I used Amazon customer service to access my new device, and perhaps ultimately doing those types of personal business items are the type of media I want to avoid in the future.  My justification is that I now have a kindle which is an excellent resource that relieves a lot of stress for me.  I can fall asleep now, b/c I can read a book.Yeah, not perfect, but my reasons for avoiding media are more along the lines of streaming content and doomscrolling on twitter, and neither of those happened.  One other thing I did with media is I emailed back someone who was setting up a Coda convention. I felt codependently that I had to reply to confirm the link worked for me.  And I signed up.  So that is something to put on a list of "later media" items next time.  I think why I didn't quite hit eight hours by EOD is due to this, and not leaving packages until the weekend.  But to be fair, I was expecting food today, so I get why I felt I need to get the packages.  I'm starting a later list for any outstanding media-related things now.

1. We admitted we were powerless over procrastination- that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
