Using Seconds


Today, tracking my time helped me recognize the power of seconds. Seconds can make a difference. There are many times that I move slower than I could, or I wait to get started doing something, when if I just buckled down and worked efficiently, it would get done much sooner than I think! I want to get better at using the seconds throughout my day.

Morning Rhythms

My morning rhythm starts pretty slow and continues to speed up until I enter the room of my first class. This happens because I tend to oversleep but still be pretty groggy when I wake up since I'm such a deep sleeper. Other mornings, when I oversleep a lot, the rhythm is fast and furious during my whole (condensed) routine. I don't think my morning routine will ever feel peaceful and slow. It's just the nature of my routine and schedule.

Day 1 of Compliment Time

Day 1 of my designed compliment time was a success! It was brief - I probably only took one minute to do it. But it felt good to reflect on good things I had done and good qualities I have. I'm looking forward to continuing this daily reflection. I'd like to make it a habit because it has the potential to really change me for the better.

Time Dominoes

Like I said in my previous post, tracking my sleep has awakened me to the reality of how little sleep I get. I've noticed a domino effect when this happens. While I may be mentally satisfied with 5-6 hours of sleep a night, my body definitely is not. So my time in the day and week ahead is then affected. My body craves sleep, so I frequently oversleep and lose time I need to prepare for my day in the morning. I fall asleep in class and lose valuable learning time. I'm sluggish in other classes and lose work time. The time I sleep directly correlates with my success in other endeavors.
