Thoughts
...it has occurred to me that, in the process of using the book Time Management From the Inside Out to make what's called a "Time Map," that I have been too optimistic. Maybe optimistic is the wrong word. I've been expecting that, with a good schedule, I will be able to accomplish things as though I were completely healthy, totally mentally alert, with no unexpected events.
Sitting here with a cold that started Saturday, wondering how I'm going to get everything done, I realize that perhaps this is not the way to go. Maybe I ought to make a regular plan that assumes I'm sick, having a horrible ADD week, and have at least one or two things go wrong--like Ryan being sick or something.
That way, when I am at the top of my game, I won't feel pressured but will get more done than I planned; and when I'm sick or distracted, I'll easily keep my head above water.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
Also, the diet book The Instinct Diet is now out in paperback, as "The I Diet." It's got stories of about 10 people who bought the hardback book and have been very successful. The author seems surprised and pleased that the hardback was so well-received, and that the diet worked so well outside the lab, with people who weren't under her direct supervision. My New Year's Resolution is to actually start cooking with the recipes in the back (if you can call 2/3 of the book the "back")...but I'll get started with that next week. Today I am sick, so I'm just gonna dump some hominy and pork in a pot and make some pozole for the week.
