Cranky.

[prog]

Good:

• I have some rather inspired Gameshelf post ideas that are just waiting for me to realize. I really will do them, once i work up the gumption for it.


• Project X's IP holder wrote me, confirming that the project maintains is month-long heartbeat frequency while in hibernation. I'm not actually worried that it may be otherwise, but it's nice to hear anyway.


• Had a great meeting with a new client yesterday, and another client has been coming by daily to dump a wheelbarrow of new tasks onto my lawn. Mmm, smells like fresh peat.

Bad:
My sleep cycle is broken again. Most days I am waking up after 10am, no matter what I do the night before. This is unacceptable during winter, when I must be especially mindful to maximize the amount of sunlight coming into my eyes. Here it is noon, I am drinking my morning coffee, and there is like four hours of sun left. When such days end with me feeling like I accomplished nothing, it's an easy out to blame my waking up late, but it's not entirely incorrect, either.

"This ends here" growled I through my morning brain-syrup. Must prioritize changing the bedroom environment, starting with installing multiple alarm clocks, and leaving at least one of the heavy curtains open. (Which means installing blinds - work, bah. Still.)

You could also turn your computer into an alarm clock, if you have one in your bedroom. Although I set mine to wake up at 6:30 am on weekdays, you could do additional stuff such as using an alarm program or scheduling some other noise-producing program.

Lol, when I was working from home, I was proud to wake up by 10am. It rarely happened. Have you run this tons-of-alarm clocks by Amy? Also, does anything really work when you KNOW inside you don't have to wake up?

One night just take a hot bath and drink like half a bottle of wine, change the sheets and go to bed early. Make a big deal about it being the best night of sleep ever. It is awesome. You will wake up super refreshed the next day.

Alarm clocks don't work, they just make you cranky until you figure out how to disable them in the most efficient manner possible. You will find ways to throw small items across the room, *while still asleep*, hitting the "off" switch on any kind of alarm device. It is uncanny.
