When I try this, I’m going to go full out. So step 1 for me is to set up my environment and myself in such a way that I have a greater chance of succeeding. First goal is to train my body to get up as soon as the alarm clock rings.

It’s all about practicing (while you’re completely awake!) This is step 1 to my goal of trying polyphasic sleep.

An interesting thing about typing in Dvorak is that the most common typos are different and people are less likely to know what you meant because different keys are next to each other. I just thought of this when I read the entry below me: “I decided no try …” Sounds like “decided not to try” right? But no, the “n” and “t” are next to each other in Dvorak. So really, it should say “I decided to try..” No one who types QWERTY would get that since “n” and “t” are so far away in QWERTY. heh.
