I’m deeming Operation: Get More Sleep a failure.
\nIt isn’t a failure because I wasn’t getting more sleep. I was. It’s a failure because it’s dramatically cut down on my work efficiency.<\/p>\n
I find that, more and more, I only get work done in the mornings. Once the afternoon hours hit, I am either busy being social, or busy hiding, eating, and trying to eek out a little relaxation before a busy evening. I can’t make myself focus on work then. I’ve tried, with limited success, but it just doesn’t work for me.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I woke up early. Really early. And I graded a huge stack of papers, wrote a speech to give later that evening, set up an appointment with a name change lawyer, and had my appointment in St. Louis. Many of these were things I had been trying to get done all weekend, but felt stuck, depression-wise. But I knocked it all out this morning, and had time to talk with Cara about things, too.<\/p>\n
Yes, I’m going to have to spend more mornings getting up early and knocking shit out if I’m going to succeed, get this thesis done, and so on.<\/p>\n
Therefore, I declare Operation Get More Sleep a failure. Long Live Operation Neversleep!<\/p>\n
And with that, ironically, I’m going to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
