If anyone has ever tried getting a full 8 hours of a sleep a night, they would know how hard it is. Day 1 and 2 went fine. But by day three I had to attend a friends birthday event, grocery shop, make dinner, do laundry, check e-mails, and pay bills. This did not all get done in the 3 hours I alloted, therefore scrimping into my alloted 8 of beauty sleep. And day 4 I had a friend in town, which made me feel guilty for pulling up the covers at 11 pm, when I hadn't seen her in years. So I cut an extra 2 hours that night as well.
I decided to take a look at the breakdown of where my precious hours are going...
(weekdays)
8 hours: work
2 hours: commuting
2 hours: daily prep and hygiene
8 hours: sleep
That leaves a measly 4 hours to do everything else in my life. Impossible!
How can I have fun, cook wonderful food, enjoy eating it, spend time with friends, plan events, see new movies, read good books, exercise, and complete all my errands in as little as 4 hours?!?
This week I have discovered the meaning of priority. With so little free time I have to learn to put whats the most important first. That way, the things at the top of my list will get done before my new bedtime creeps up on me. This will take some adjusting. I have to be more stern with myself so I don't break the rules so often. This month sleep is priority.
So, I embark on week 2 with a fierce dedication to accumulate those hours of shut eye. Wish me luck!
