It's definitely been a bit since I've posted one of these lists. I certainly fell off some of the good habits I had been establishing, so it's high time to resume. I started off feeling quite ambitious today, considering I'm also working on something to assist my family members, but that tapered off a little bit in the early afternoon.
I did spend a lot of time on the internet, and quite late, this past week. A few of those times were actually reading and watching stuff of interest to me (i.e. old movies), so I don't consider it time wasted. Good content can most certainly be found on the web, and is stimulating in a very positive way. However, that was not true for every day.
Additionally, my left knee reminded me an old injury after some exercises I did a bit over a week ago, and this was exacerbated when I carried an air conditioner upstairs the following day, so I took it easy and gave myself time to recover. That said, I could've been working out my upper body more than I had been. A full week of "recovery time" is excessive. I know I recover faster than that!
All things considered, here's a reasonable list for the rest of today:
- Stay on my phone for less than 1 hour
- Exercise
- Stretch
- Meditate
- Draw or read an art history book
- Get off the internet by 4:00 p.m.
- Go to sleep by 12:30 a.m.
- Watch a TV show or movie with my family
All very achievable tasks.
Tomorrow I'll be even a little bit more stringent and try to cut back the times by 30 minutes, and finally go search for new glasses. They're so broken up that they're literally giving me headaches when I wear them for too long. This can't be delayed any longer!
