Thinking

Orthodontist appointment going to hurt productivity for day if I don't maximize buffer possibilities. Should get ready and go to work now.

Did some twittering today.... Don't like that at all. I've added a "Say out loud, 'The next time I want to go to Twitter, I will instead pick an item in my reading list.'" to my morning checklist. I may not be going to twitter to read, though, so this may not be an effective switch, but we will see. If I'm doing it for social reasons, I can try chatting with friends....

But considering I don't say anything when I go to Twitter, reading may work. I mean, the thing that ended my Twitter habit before was counting calories, so... I'm guessing I want to use my brain in some way that isn't work or properly active? Worth trying the reading idea.
