Timeblock

Thinking

Weekly review day! I did a partial one last week, but today should be a more complete one.

Eh, it ended up being a quickie due to making a quarterly doc. Next week I'll try to update it.

Today's Log Inaccurate

Not corrected by next morning, forgot exactly what I did. Had a lack of energy.

Timeblock

Thinking

Really exhausted yesterday. Probably all the novelty. Had a bit of extra rest this morning. Which means I need to "practice flexibility" the rest of today. The day is not automatically lost, I have recovered from such mornings before. Though, today is also a pretty heavy meeting day. So, wouldn't have been very productive to begin with.

No Twitter Streak Continues

But it's still hard. I want to go to twitter right now, even.

Timeblock

Thinking

I vaguely feel like I remembered my dream when I woke up, but it's gone now.

Dad had an overnight layover in Seattle, so I hosted him at my place overnight.

Timeblock

Thinking

Once again, I woke up remembering my dream, but by now it is completely gone. Going to need some system for writing it down in bed immediately upon waking up....

Timeblock

Thinking

I have managed a weekend without Twitter. Woo.

Feeling pretty great today, actually. Had a solid weekend where I made time for most of the things I want to make time for.

Side-project stuff is coming along nicely, even after suffering several disruptions that were often fatal to previous attempts.

Missing Day

Just went with side-project morning stuff instead of planning. Normal wife-day otherwise. Went on a budget date.

Timeblock

Thinking

Remembered my dream when I woke up but it's gone now. Gotta work on that.

Timeblock inaccurate

Most of the stuff listed in the timeblock happened, but in different order. There was also a lot of cleaning and laundry. Remembering exact order is difficult and not neccesary.

Timeblock

Dream

Vague idea of having a dream, but it's completely gone now. Didn't practice good dream hygiene, I don't think.

Thinking

Yesterday, I really, really wanted to go to twitter, but I fought it off pretty well. Still not doing spaced-repetition enough.

Timeblock

Thinking

Had trouble sleeping last night, but also had a 2-hour nap. I woke up more-or-less fine, so that's good.

Yesterday was the first day in a while that I managed to not go to Twitter. I have my news sources, twitter is a bad trigger that follows. I'll try my best to get back into spaced repetition.

I didn't remember my dream, but the first time trying to go to sleep I did actively think about remembering my dream.

Resisting Twitter Trigger

Just read about how Bernie Sanders is tied in delagates in Iowa now with 97% of precincts reporting. Really wanted to go read Peter Coffin's take on that. If he really has a take, he'll make another video. Same with Secular Talk.

Deep breath.

Twitter will not improve my life in any measured or subjective way. I need to finish my morning maintenance work and then walk to work.

At Work

It's the end of the day. I can probably go home. My Twitter trigger is blasting. Have to keep stopping myself. I'll do some spaced-repetition.

Missing Day

Yesterday, I woke up at 0500 and basically went straight to work to fix a customer-facing issue. Had a doctor's appointment about lower-back pain and ended up coming home at a normal hour instead of the planned early hour (from going to work early).

Managed to do some music stuff with wife, but no side-project work.

Timeblock

Thinking

Did not sleep super well last night due to kitten. But I seem to be in a stable place. Just got to make sure to get to bed on time and wake up on time for a bit. Sleep can't stay unstable.

Dream

I had a lucid dream last night. Cat turned into big cat turned into dog. Weird apartment that doesn't exist. Dinner with neighbors that don't exist.

Let's try and structure this and thus probably change how the dream actually went. I think we were moving into an apartment. The cat was exploring and then I went looking for the cat. Noticed the cat was playing with another cat and I was like, "Oh, a neighbor's cat must have gotten in." As I tried to get a closer look at the cat, it transformed into a larger, non-domesticated breed of cat. Then, suddenly, it was a black dog with a brown belly.

I decided to try and find the dog's owner, and left the room, only to find myself at a dinner table eating with people I knew, but only existed within the dream. I mentioned the dog, but at this point I was getting a bit confused about what was going on.

I looked carefully at one of the people I was eating with, and I said aloud, "Oh, I'm dreaming." I continued to look at the person, a blonde woman. She didn't react in any way to my statement.

Then, suddenly, there was a searing bright light and things went abstract. There was this kinda background of a circuit board and a glowing light that pulsed with a narration. I can't remember the narration, which is a shame because when I woke up I tried very much to remember it, and the name that seemed to fit the voice of the narrator. But I didn't stay awake when I rehearsed the dream when I woke up, and it must have been lost in that bit of extra sleep.

Twitter

I've been fighting a losing battle with my Twitter addiction lately. The whole primary election cycle has reset the habit. It's taking active willpower not to go to Twitter, and it's been hurting my spaced-repetition habit.

Trying to fight back today. No Twitter. And if I fail, the goal is to go right back to no Twitter. Try my best to keep the floodgates closed and not let a little trickle defeat me.

Missing Days

Had that chronic illness over the weekend. No energy. Headache. An insatiable need for sugar. Slept a significant chunk of yesterday. Weighed 210.2 pounds this morning.

Going to need to talk to my doctor about this, I think.

Timeblock

Thinking

I very clearly remembered my dream whilst in bed, but because I didn't save it, it has now been lost. Really gots to have some means of saving it that won't wake up the wife.
