Everyone has Ten Minutes

 

It's been a week since my return to So. Cal. and I've accomplished very little from my To Do list.

Here are my excuses:
     *The time change!  Don't you hate it when they fiddle around with the clocks!?  (Random thought...NO ONE I know likes
      this time change, right?  So WHY is it still happening!!??)
     *Add to that one-hour change the timezone change!  I found myself justifying an early bedtime based on 
      Central Time.  Goes something like this; "6 o'clock here on the West Coast.  Adjust for Central Time...8 o'clock. 😴
      Adjust again for the hour from daylight savings...Ahhhh 9 o'clock.  A decent bedtime." (and I think I got that backward
      but it worked in my head.)

    *Not feeling well.  I did have to finally visit the Dr. for an Rx.  The medication seems to be kicking in, so I'm feeling better. 

    *Work:  It was a crazy, busy week.  My brain felt tired at the end of the day.

    *New-House paperwork and errands. I suppose that's here to stay for the next few months.  But, it is tiring;
      physically and mentally.

3:00 am

Let's see....can I think of any more excuses?  No...I guess that's it.  Now the weekend is upon us and I feel anxious about catching up...but where do I start?

What happens when you go to bed really early?  You wake up in the wee hours. 

It was during one of these wakeful times that I watched an interesting video on YouTube;
Accomplish Everything With Mini Habits.

In a nutshell, the creator of this video is saying Instead of telling yourself  "I'll do such-and-such for 20 minutes," which doesn't always work out as planned, make the time increment more manageable. 
The creator chose 2 minute increments.  I've chosen 10 minute increments.

And, it appears to be working!  It's only 8:30 on Saturday morning and I've already accomplished three things! 
(Showering isn't one of them...that's next on the list. ("You put 'showering' on your To Do list?!" 
Yes.  It feels so good to cross it off!))
