We Do More Before 9 AM. . .
Categories: Personal
It's 7:23 AM. This has been my day thus far:
3:30 AM -- Wake up for no apparent reason. Try to go back to sleep.
4:00 AM -- Unable to go back to sleep because of too many thoughts in my head, get up to make a list of stuff I need to do or am thinking about ("open loops" in Getting Things Done parlance)
4:15 AM -- return to bed
4:30 AM -- Still unable to go back to sleep. Get up to do a couple of things on that list I just made. Send an email about gaming.
4:40 AM -- return to bed
5:00 AM -- Realize there is no way I am getting back to sleep. Decide to get up and start the day, with hopes of getting enough stuff done to take a nap this afternoon.
5:00 AM -- 5:45 AM -- Send more emails, balance checkbook. Get paper as it is being dropped off. Eat bowl of ceral while reading paper.
5:45 AM -- 6:30 AM Shower, get dressed, get stuff ready to take to the office. Realize that I am completely ready to go to work, as well as having accomplished a few minor things, by the time I am normally about to get out of bed.
6:45 AM -- Arrive at office.
Thus far, I've finished grading a set of exams, as well as averaging and entering them into the gradebook. I've got an 8:30 meeting. I wonder if I can accomplish enough by the time of that meeting to go home afterwards. I was pretty awake and energized after breakfast, but am starting to fade a bit. This would be coffee time, if I drank coffee. And it's still too early for a Coke. *Yawn*
