It wasn't a very splashy day today, but very, very satisfying. I did four of the items on my "one of these days in the vague future I'm going to get around to that" list. I'm keeping watch on what I'm avoiding and really cheerleading myself on to just gosh darned dive in and do it already. The sense of relief and lightening is the perfect reward. The act of avoidance does take some energy, after all.
None of these items was difficult, although a couple were a bit time consuming. I'm not always even sure why I put them off. Probably just a matter of "I don't feel like it, I'd rather do something funner, or not do anything at all." Tonight I get to go to bed feeling virtuous, and that, too, is a reward.
Speaking of which, since the first day of this new year, I have been sleeping until 9, 9:30, once even until 10 o'clock! I have no idea what has happened to my circadian rhythm or internal alarm clock or whatever it is that used to wake me up between 5:30 and 7:30. I haven't changed my evening routines. It's a mystery, and mostly a happy thing, but it does make the day a bit shorter, so I need to start being productive right away instead of shuffling around in my slippers wondering what the day will be like.
