Hi!

Well, the first half of my week was a bit off. I had an examen, so I kinda screw up a bit my planning and scheduling to prepare for that examen. Anyway, I don't think it was worth it, because it didn't go well. But it wasn't worth much (15% only), so i'll work harder on that course 'till the end of the semester.

I'm still experimenting with my sleep pattern, as it seems to be linked to my procrastination problem. Yesterday, I got up at seven, and I kinda got the feeling that my day wasn't gonna be productive. Well, guess what, it's what happened, I didn't do much homework yesterday. So I decided that today, I was gonna go back to waking up at 5h30am, even if it meant less sleeping. I got up at that time, and got to work. By noon, I had already completed 4 hours on my main project, plus I had taken care of a couple of emails, phone calls and other stuff I had to do. I had a class this afternoon, now I'm gonna work a bit 'till 7-8pm, and I'll be off to the pool to swim laps. It'll change my mind, and will get me tired for a good night sleep.

I'm still planning to get up at 5h30am for the next few days, at least until monday, because I have a party planned on monday night that will finish very late in the night (3-4am) so tuesday will be my day off for the week because I will get up at noon probably. After that, I will go back to get up at 5h30am in the morning.

Plus, I've had a good idea to prepare me for sleep: read from my handbook of steel. The structural and technical infos in there will tire and bore even the most determined persons... I'll give it a try this weekend.

I've cut back a lot on caffeine, but I'm not going cold turkey (I don't like that), so I'm taking it gradually.

Overall, I've had setbacks, but I'm learning ways to deal with those setbacks. I'm not at level of efficiency I'd like to be (probably still very far from it), but I'm seeing a small progress, so I'm gonna continue working on that.

'Till next time, don't proscratinate to much!
