This is actually a curriculum that I’ve been working on for ages, and I’ve got a deadline. I think the problem is that I’m just not motivated to do it; I’ve kind of list interest, and I am zapped of energy from all of the other plates I have spinning. The problem is, I’ve committed to this, I need to get it done, and people are counting on me! So, I am going to finish this thing! Starting tonight, I’m working on it!

Okay; I am not starting off this journey with amazing things like, “climb Mt. Everest” or “start new business”, because I need to get the basics down. Like getting enough sleep. I realize that when I don’t get enough sleep, my world falls apart; I’m irritable, depressed, and get a little bit crazy in general. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture, and there’s a reason!

I have two main things, compounded with each other, that keep me from getting enough sleep. The one is that I have 2 small children. One of them is, in fact, 7 months old, and doesn’t sleep through. This wouldn’t be a problem if I would follow the old advice to “nap when they nap”. The compounding problem is that I do too much. Finishing my degree, volunteering, starting projects all battle for the time that I could be spending sleeping or relaxing (or just playing with my kids) is spent on trying to get caught up with all of this stuff! So, two other “sub-goals” are to finish all of my mini-projects, and then learn to say “no”.
