I'm back in this too.
Todays' rating will be posted tomorrow. In the meantime I want to relate some thoughts.

Project: In an effort to hold myself more accountable for my use of time, I want to record my activities and their duration throughout the day. I carry a bag almost everywhere I go, and throwing a pen and notebook in there would not be much of a burden. Taking it out and jotting down a note about time use doesn't seem too cumbersome either. I want to streamline my activities, especially routine, administrative tasks. For example, I'll record how long it takes to brush my teeth, shower, eat breakfast--basically how long it takes to get out of bed and get going. I'll scrutinize that task, and try to get those things done as efficiently as possible. I'll also get in the habit of glancing at my watch and holding myself more to a schedule, or at least an idea of how long an activity should take. Time is a non-renewable resource, and it's important to use it well. I could be using it much better, and one of the first steps one must take toward better management is a system of review and accountability. Hopefully my system isn't too cumbersome.
Observation: Flax oil makes a marked difference in my performance.
Observation: With some tasks, the manner in which it happens is not important beyond aesthetics, and consequently, I should be creative with those tasks and incorporate changes into them that make them easier or more appealing. For example, if I run for exerise, as long as I'm doing the activity for a prescribed amount of time, it doesn't hurt if I'm also listening to music. This is an obvious example, and maybe undermines the point I'm trying to make because of its obviousness. Basically, I have concepts of how certain tasks will look, in other words, what the experience of performing that activity will be like. I also think that it's possible to become enslaved to those concepts. In other words, you feel pressure not only to do the thing, but you feel pressure to do it in the way that you imagine it a-priori. I'm trying to eliminate the latter phenomenon, because it's unimportant beyond the aesthetic. Don't get me wrong, some tasks require to be done one way as opposed to another, even if the ostensible result is the same. This could be for ethical or practical reasons. However, there are several tasks where this is not the case. I want to take it upon myself to use my creativity to discern which tasks are of which nature and to implement changes to make the tasks like running more enjoyable and easier to execute with my will.
I had some other thoughts, but I've taken enough time on this post. If they're still relevent in the future, I'll post them at some other time. As I said, rating tomorrow.
