Zzzz Time


Tracking my time has helped me be aware of how terribly little sleep I get. I'm to the point where I get 5-6 hours a night. What's really sad is that I've gotten used to it. I set my alarm for the next morning and see that I'm going to get 5 1/2 hours of sleep and it doesn't really phase me. It's like I've put a filter on how I view sleeping time.

Newsroom Rhythms

I spend over 15 hours every week in the student newsroom. I produce the live newscasts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are definitely strong rhythms in the newsroom. When breaking news comes in and we're pushing to get everything ready in time, the rhythm of the newsroom is buzzing. There's energy in the air and the rhythm is fast, steady, and pulsing. There are accents when something needs to be fixed, or a problem comes up. In the booth, I try to maintain a calmer, yet still strong, steady rhythm as I communicate with newsroom staff.

Another Domino

Today I had 3 hours of dance practice. The last hour of practice went really well. There was an upbeat, motivated rhythm between me and my partner because we worked hard and communicated well. That rhythm has continued with me throughout the rest of the day--another domino effect.

Afternoon vs Evening

As the sun goes down, my rhythm picks up. I move faster and get more things done because I feel the pressure of the end of the day. In contrast, my afternoon rhythms are slow and relaxed. I think of jazz music as a comparison. I can see the rest of the day ahead of me and I feel like I have time to get things done...so I don't.
