In the beginning, there was so much randomness that I didn't know where to begin. I don't know how many times I have wanted to start a project, but just didn't know what to do first, and, as a result, nothing got done. Hopefully that will not happen with my current project.
I plan on working on self discipline over the next 6 and a half weeks. I hope to have a cleaner house and more good articles written, as well as some new material for future writing.
Today was the official first day. Though not perfect, I was disciplined more than usual. I did not get up as early as I wanted, but I did cook a healthy breakfast of oatmeal. I did not prepare spiritually for the day before I left the house, but I did while I was in the car on my short drive to work by leaving the radio off and collecting my thoughts and trying to focus my attention on spiritual matters. I may have been rewarded for this by having EVERY light between home and work stay GREEN for me.
I did what I had to do at work, only sending out a few text messages while on lunch, and leaving right on time. I continued a simple evening at home, resting for about 30 minutes, sending a few more texts, getting ready for recycling tomorrow, cooking a simple meal. Instead of watching the news, I watched a documentary on The Salton Sea in southern California and a day in the life (and an interview with) a 105 year old woman. After starting the dishwasher and heading to my room, I realized that I had not written anything yet today. Bad discipline.
So, today was a good start in self discipline. At least I had some luck with a low-key day and got the kitchen sink looking less cluttered instead of just ignoring the mess. So much more yet to work on, but day one was OK.
