12:00 PM: I would like to allow myself more time for writing upon waking. I feel that my creative juices are most freely flowing first thing in the afternoon. Toward this end, it appears that I will either have to work less or wake up earlier. I am not fond of the sense of urgency I create with my current sleeping schedule.
It is not lost on me that I have been writing about my aberrant sleeping schedule for a sad, absurd number of days (or weeks, or months). In an effort to curb the self-debasement, I am trying to keep in mind that at various points over the last several years I also wrote about meditating daily, journaling, dietary changes, adding cardio, making time for friends, creating a morning routine, setting daily goals, quitting drinking, getting help in quitting drinking, becoming a facilitator to further aide in the endeavor of libations cessation, and a host of other habits and goals that I rarely mention now, as neglect of any one of them, which occasionally occurs, would be a deviation from the norm, rather than my sad, absurd immediate cup of empty promises.
I’ve had some wins.
