Right now I'm a bit annoyed with myself. I committed to cleaning my car for 15 minutes at 7:00 tonight and I didn't follow through. I used work responsibilities and friends as my excuse. I think it might be fear talking. The task seems overwhelming and 15 minutes doesn't seem like enough time to make a difference and I don't know where to start. I'm not very happy with myself at the moment - both for not doing the task, and for letting myself down."

I'm working on refining my Operation Dreamland (sleep routine). And I'm thinking a way to get my system on board to get into bed even a little earlier is to bring my sudoku book to bed. This way, if my brain isn't ready to sleep, I am doing SOMETHING to satisfy it that doesn't involve language or the phone etc. It is worth a shot! Because I know this "going to sleep at a reasonable hour" needs to be a lifestyle change, not a fad diet 🤣 But I've made a lot of progress in this. But also realized that a part of me was hesitating to get into bed at 9:30.. but in reality, I WOULD benefit from being in bed at 9:30. At least until daughter leaves for summer. So current time I'm IN bed without phone is 10 pm. But I would like to make that 9:30. That way, hopefully I would be closer to being ASLEEP by 10.

As we're moving into week two, one thing I am very curious about is how many check-ins folks do per day, and when, and why? I started with one mid morning (after morning routine) and at the end of the evening, but then found myself skipping the evening ones. Now I am thinking I might switch to end-of-day check-ins that capture the whole day and give me chance to reflect and think about what the focus of tomorrow should be... I know I am probably over-thinking this, but, again, am curious how others do it!

I'm reviewing my ADHD Awakening Assessment and noted that my "executive function problem" might actually be a precision-paralysis pattern... I don't start because I'm not confident that I've figured out the perfect plan yet. I've often deemed this as "paralyzed by perfectionism." The systems I keep abandoning aren't failing because I lack discipline. They're failing because they're solving the wrong problem entirely. That's annoying. ;-)
