Tuesday March 6, 2012

OK, so far not a great day...I really over-planned for yesterday, with the result that I didn't nearly get through my list, and feel really behind already.

And, I was late to work today (combo of over-sleeping and horrible luck with buses/trains), so that doesn't feel good either.

OK, well I'm going to try to make a reasonable list for today and do my best:
*He staining of slides I sectioned yesterday, eval. morph. (working on this now)
*Check on expts
*Do script
*Plan for girl's group, shop
*Finish working on ctrl for MK expts, email MK
*Organize my slides to stage
*Email about social events

*Call about checks, credit card and donation

Starting w/ girls grp planning + work on control.

Hi, All--good wishes for your day!

I want to feel better about how I use my time, today, than how I used it yesterday. So:

I choose accomplishment in reality over escape, today, particularly in these ways:

I choose to postpone doing any online puzzles or playing any online games until between 21:30 and 22:00--I know that doing even one, before that, is one too many, because one almost never feels like enough.
I choose to do my non-fiction listening only before 22:00, and only during chores or exercise or travel before 18:00.
:-( I choose to do my fiction listening only between 18:00 and 22:00 and during chores or exercise or travel or project progress. (I chose to ignore this contraint.)
:-( I choose to read fiction by eye only between 20:00 and 22:00. (I chose to ignore this constraint.)
:-( I choose to experience silence after 22:00. I encourage myself to be in bed by midnight, even if the lights aren't out. I want to feel rested and energetic when I wake up, tomorrow! I want to enjoy at least three hours of morning, IN the late morning, rather than the small hours! (I chose to ignore this constraint.) 

Key:
Done or Done Enough--I CELEBRATE THESE!:
In Progress--I take encouragement from these!:
Not How I Planned: :-(

I am setting a new healthy boundary for me: no electronics in bed.  I have always taken my Iphone to bed for limited gaming but found that I do fight sleep to continue playing, which is addict behavior I wasn't willing to face.  But now I have an iPad and the problem ramped way up: last two nights I went to bed before 10 but stayed up playing until 3 a.m. one night, 1 a.m. last night.  That's no way to recover, so asking HP to help me resist the beginning.

"My boundaries enclose a pleasant land." Psalm 16

Thanks for starting the thread lennon.

Slept well without dreams and woke at 7.30 feeling tired but not exhausted. I need a little time to get used to having my life back, no operation and I am OK to get on with any exercise, travel or whatever I want. It is a bit of a good shock.
