Torn

As I write this I can honestly say that I do not know what time I will go to bed tonight. While there is still a whole week or so to go, for the full 30 days to have elapsed, my thoughts are turning more and more to the idea of pulling an all-nighter.

There’s no denying it, I have enjoyed waking early, being able to watch the sun rise as I eat my breakfast, and the sense of achievement (OK, smugness!) that goes with it. On the negative side though, the change in routine has been accompanied by Inbox chaos and the “todo” list getting ever longer. I have this overwhelming feeling that one major push will see me catching up with a whole load thing of things, yet another part of me would see this as giving in.

So what’s the lesson here? Perhaps that it’s OK to vary things, mostly get up early and then put in the extended sessions when needed? Perhaps it’s a hint that my time and procrastination management really do suck.

Or maybe it will turn out that those people who told me “night-owls and early birds are born and not made” were right all along.
