Tuesday of Psyching Out the Maze
Star this Commitment
wrkinprogrss commits to:
waiting until at least 5:30pm before I do any recreational reading or any audiobook listening, today. I will experiment with viewing job work as my highest priority between now and then. I will allow myself to listen to music at any time, but I won't use the mp3 player before 5:30pm.
If I need a break from job work, after working steadily for at least 30 minutes, I can read and respond to one stickk item at a time, prepare th h/w, do some Qi Gong or dancing, do some housework, do up to three separate timed 10-minute research stints on the web related to my Joy Diet meditations/plans from yesterday or this morning, take a 6-minute rest break, do a little singing, do some brief cartooning or haiku-writing experiments, or spend one or two 6-minute breaks (with a timer on!) experimenting with my new camera. One way or another, I will mail my tax authorization forms to my preparer, today. After my 6:00pm appointment, I will not do any recreational reading by eye until after I have a batch of soup cooking. To support myself in getting a full night's sleep, I will not do any recreational reading after 10:32pm, tonight. If I use my 9:30 internet window, I will not listen to any audio after I get up from the computer, whether that's at 10:32pm or sometime in the previous hour. My intent will be to be in bed with the lights out by 11:15pm.
No more reports due

| Actually, I've been putting my hoped-for bedtimes in my goals as "intents" rather than commitments, and am not counting intent failures as stickk goal commitment failures. When I was committing to specific bedtimes, I wasn't doing well at hitting them. (At least, that's how I remember it now.) I fear that if I commit to, say, a 1:30am bedtime, that I'll take that as a license to stay up to 1:30am, which would be counterproductive. Do you have a different perspective on that? Thanks for commenting! | |

| Ooo, love this title. Sounds like it went great too. I am continually inspired by how specific and detailed you make your daily goals. Question: Have you considered moving your goal bedtime temporarily closer to your average actual bedtime, i.e., making that goal easier for now, to cash in more successes? | |

| Kept this goal's conditions re no recreational reading or audio after 10:32--did some Joy Diet journaling and a bit of research reading/browsing related to that, which I'm not counting as recreational. Turned the lights off at about 12:40am, which is substantially later than I had hoped for, but earlier than most of the last week's bedtimes. Definitely calling it a success. | |
