My day has been productive: calibrated my new scale, did laundry, fixed my knitting, had an animated conversation with a drop-in visitor, and planned my "easy win" tasks for Monday morning. Meditation fit in neatly between tidying the kitchen and my visitor's arrival. I wasn't hungry til mid-morning (oatmeal) and I had an apple when I was feeling a little peckish later. I've updated my new Noom app and put things away as I go. Rested, clean, fed and tidy. That's definitely a win.
I learned caffeinated tea definitely leaves me hyper tending toward anxious - that's an easy switch. And I identified a character trait that is definitely a time-gobbler: perfectionism. Knitting. Organizing my desk. Rerouting cords. Calibrating a scale. I'm not satisfied, even if I get the job done, if it's not just so. I know to quit when it's good enough, but that doesn't give me the same satisfaction.
I lost half the afternoon to researching insurance policies (necessary to be well-informed) and sleep tracking apps (necessary to have one. Not necessary to plan to review 3 and find a snoring app for my Dad, to boot. Well, maybe that's a good thing.) So that turned into commitments to have a longer conversation with my insurer Monday and several weeks to try out and review apps. I'm still ok with those decisions, but I see where that's my m.o. I go at everything like a tonne of bricks.
I did reschedule my walk to the farmers' market—I couldn't bear to miss hanging laundry on a sunny day to be disappointed by an eggless market too late—but I'll still get out for a short jaunt for groceries before the sun disappears.
It appears I even won the fight with my Android—it recognizes my voice again. (Sadly, I can't change to a male voice.)
After a start like that, I believe I can write a page for our new site before I go out this evening.
