A Little Shift

I mistyped my title ... can you guess what it said LOL.  That title is for another day LOL!

So in my quest for my normal routine back, I decided to change up that normal routine a bit.  I'm a morning person -- a real deal morning person.  I'm also a person who LOVES a list and LOVES crossing off that list as FAST as possible.

The early part of my day is jammed packed with getting stuff done.  It feels great.  Check, check, check off the list.  Usually by mid to late afternoon, my list is finished.  I'm tired but accomplished and it's time to relax.

I sit on the sofa to read or watch TV and EAT!  Usually, I start eating because I'm hungry.  When I'm in get-stuff-done mode, I usually haven't eaten lunch.  But that eating leads to more eating and then mindless eating.  You get the picture.

I'm making a conscious decision to SLOW DOWN my to-do list for the day.  Pace myself, take lunch, take breaks.  It's okay to do wash at 3 o'clock.   Then, I'm not famished by afternoon.  I have distractions during the witching hours -- it's not all a rush to relax and feed my face.  I'm still pushing out the crappiest of the list in the morning and saving the non-urgent, busy work for afternoon.  But it's helped.  It's helped mentally and physically.  My list is getting done and I'm not feeling as (self) pressured.

I'll see if it continues to help.  Every little bit it worth something!!  Later gators.
