While I’ve done a bunch of routine hacking in the past, this week marks the first time I’ve actually *logged* what I do in the morning, so I can start being really conscious of what I’m doing. Today, I went through the following steps:
- Woke up
- Switched on the desk lamp (interestingly, I think this is the anchor habit I need to build up, as it’s the point of variance from yesterday)
- Fed the cat
- Went through the morning ablutions
- Finished today’s Worlde and posted the results to the family chat
- Wrote a page of my journal
- Grabbed my laptop
- Did set-up for some vignette projects I’m working on
- Wrote 500 words
- Made coffee and chatted with my spouse
- Wrote another 300 words
- Showered
- Went to Officeworks to pick up a webcam
- Ate breakfast
- Made another coffee
- Started work at the day job.
I then sat down to do a little more writing over lunch, taking full advantage of my work-from-home-with-one-hour-lunch-break deal to do another 200 hundred words, bringing my total wordcount to 1028.
Not my best writing day ever, but given that I’ve spent over a month not writing, I’ll take it as a good sign.
