12:38 PM: Over the last decade or so I’ve made an honest effort to distinguish both between pleasure and happiness and pain and suffering. I believe it would behoove me to also deliberately make the distinction between doing what I want and doing what I feel like doing. I’ve embraced “I do what I want” as an identity defining motto. I like it. It’s funny and I embrace the non-conformity, non-complacency, and continuous, cognizant prioritizing it represents.
Today, I prioritized sleep above all else. I did this knowing that something would have to give today. I cannot wake up at noon and manage to do jiujitsu at 1 pm, see two patients, have the car inspected at 4 pm, make my meeting at 5:30, lift, and be ready to hang out with Josh and Jonathan at a reasonable time.
I do not regret taking eight over four hours of sleep, but it’s becoming apparent that I want to wake up earlier and I feel like sleeping until noon.
