11-17, happiness, the two selfs, more storytelling, impermanence

[olifhar]

This list is for yesterday, which was pretty good. I got to organize the shelf in the bedroom, which is something I've had on the list for at least 3 weeks.

Challenges: woke up ~1:30PM; kept eating after dinner despite being pretty full; didn't look at activity list until about 4pm; Twitter/email sucked me in again; hadn't made the 11-17 activity

I only read the excerpts there, but it seems to me that if the experiencing self made decisions it would be wildly hedonistic. So when I make hedonistic decisions (like doing something fun and brushing off all the other things I should be doing) is that the remembering self acting on behalf of the experiencing self, or is it just that I know I need down-time because resentment is bad for productivity?

I don't look forward to very much either. Today I am feeling very bad about my whole situation (big group project not going well at all) but I am planning to go see the autumn leaves this weekend because I figure I will regret not doing it when I have the opportunity. I might enjoy it at the time or not, but I am not really looking forward to ti. Now I can't see what I am typing because of kittens.

A problem
is that I have the belief (I don't know how true this is) that my
success in romantic relationships is tied to other stuff in my life,
that everything else is a prerequisite. This belief is very commonly espoused. People
