View From the Bushes

Well, since the announcement of yesterday I have spent most of my available time getting all my ducks in a row. That sort of thing is both gratifying and frustrating. Gratifying, in that through the mere process of organization it almost feels as if the job is all but done. Frustrating, when you realize that not only is the job not done, but that you're wasting valuable time not doing the job. Still, without a certain amount of organization the job would never get done.

One of the things I'm going to try in an attempt to make my life more effective is establish a strict sleep schedule. It's my hope that if I go to bed and get up at exactly the same time every day that I'll be able to get by on less sleep and thus increase the amount of time I have available. This is not to say that I don't have a fairly set sleep schedule already, but as with everything, it could certianly use some improvement. Right now my plan is to be in bed at exactly 11 and wake up at 6:30. Now I go to bed at approximately 11 though sometimes as late as midnight and wake up at 7:20 so that should give me an extra hour each day right there.

I plan to spend that hour making sure I get breakfast every morning and also exercise. There seem to be various schools of thought about whether exercising helps you get by with less sleep, but my own experience is that you need more sleep, but maybe that's just until the body adjusts. In any case, I think it's worth a try. Regardless of how many projects I have going, it's pretty difficult to argue that I couldn't use some more exercise. Finally, I leave you with a link to an article in the Christian Science Monitor on advances being made with Fusion Power.
