I've been once again trying the thing where, when my alarm goes off, I get out of bed and stay out and don't hit snooze seventeen times. It's getting harder, which is mostly a signal that I'm getting more sleep deprived, probably, but also means that the cold is hitting me more.

Today I did go and sit back on the bed for a few minutes, scrolling twitter. But my eyes didn't close, and I didn't go back under the covers, and honestly, I'm counting it.

Tomorrow is, according to the note I put in Google Calendar an unknown number of years ago "Fuck You kSatyr Day" which also means it's the official pivot point for when things can start sucking less again. I'm so susceptible to anniversary effect, and I do try to fight against it, but not having the psychic weight of "hey ~guess what was happening to you~ this time of year in 2007!" will make the fight easier.

If my brain ever catches a fucking break, I'd like to work out a better ToDo list system. I'd also like to work out a better "clearing out the inbox" system. We talked at therapy a couple weeks ago about the fact that I think these are related.

In the meantime, I have to go to work and create some lesson plans for my class in an hour. Be well!

Good job getting up! I have not been managing that so well.

Woo lists - curious about your ToDo list system features and requirements.

The two things that have been helping me have been 1) having a bright light that turns on about 30 minutes before my alarm goes off, and 2) setting the thermostat to heat up the house before it's time to get up. Definitely still a struggle some days, tho.

Getting Things Done

Have you read "Getting Things Done" by David Allen?

I'm not saying that your needs are going to match his system, but he's spent an awful lot of time helping people get organized and writing about it, so it might be worth your while.
