consciously create my day

Today is a perfect example of the need to apply this goal.

You got enough sleep, but only because you slept until 8. You know it’s going to get really hot out soon, and you won’t be able to start work at 9 without paying a hefty heat price.

Stop jerking around on the Internet. You need to put the list of stuff you’ve got to do in PlanPlus and get it done; reward yourself with time online.

An aside: no more crap food like Dunkin’ Donuts and ice cream sandwiches. You’re laying with the heating pad on now because you haven’t seriously worked out in a week and your muscles are tight. You’ve spent the last week eating your way through Broward county. That’s cool since it was your b-day and all, but let’s get real. You’ve got athletic goals you want to meet (see when the Portland Xterra is) and you can’t meet them as easily scarfing tempura cheesecake.

It definitely helps. I can set it up to remind myself when to go to appointments or to remember things I wouldn’t on my own. Right now I need to figure out how to create my day (week, etc.) without driving myself to exhaustion. I will literally go until I drop.

This past Saturday was my best pal’s birthday party (which, unfortunately, turned out to be a little on the lame side with everyone getting stinking drunk and throwing birthday cake around, but whatever…), and I didn’t get to bed until 2 a.m. so I missed the 5 a.m. meeting time for the A1A Marathon water station volunteering. So I need to learn that less can be more. But I’m a quadruple Gemini and I’m never going to want to accept that as fact.
