My 30 day trial officially began on Saturday, and I had a total failure. I did no work toward my goals on Saturday. Instead, I slept later than I had planned and had to rush to a social appointment.

Not good. I really need to make this a priority, so will have to do a better job of getting to bed at a reasonable time and getting up when I plan.

On Sunday I wasn't feeling very well, so I chose not to do work that required a lot of brain power. Instead I got through several items on my todo list. I was pretty happy with that. The projects I finished aren't the *most* critical for my goals, but they help. "Honoring your energy" is one of the principles of Getting Things Done and I feel like a did that.

This morning I admit that I flubbed the first hour. The main problem is that I had to get online to complete a task, but got sucked into email and feed reading. However, I reset my timer and got a very solid 60 minutes, followed by a short break and another good 30 minutes in before lunch. That means I got 1.5 hours of productive work done this morning.

So far I think I've been more productive than I would have been without this challenge, but I have a long way to go to train my productivity muscles. I'm definitely still grappling with post success let down. If I can get 3-4 good hours of work in each day by the end of this month I'll be very satisfied.
