Day 104: More sick days

-
The haze from the California wildfires has been very bad lately, and yesterday and today, my allergies have acted up and hit me with a very bad sinus headache. So I am taking a couple sick days. Man, this is really very frustrating to be incapacitated this way. I want to write!

    I'm so sorry about the wildfires, allergies and headache. I couldn't write AT ALL last week due to a never-ending migraine, so I sympathize. I'm really enjoying your writing diary. I pray your head feel better. Take it easy!

      I'm so sorry about your migraine! I'll be praying for you! I know God wants us to write so I believe He'll help us through this soon.

Day 783: Evaluation 7

It’s been almost seven months since I wrote my last Evaluation 6 , but I finally got around to Evaluation #7! Here’s the gist of what I’ve learned over the past few months about my writing and productivity. New schedule My IBS was slowly been starting to feel better recently. I am still extremely strict with my diet, but I am also starting to experiment with what foods I can and can’t eat. I have also started a new eating and sleeping schedule, which I have dubbed my “chrono-diet” because I’m trying to take advantage of my circadian rhythm, according to the book Change Your Schedule, Change Your Life (I had borrowed a copy from the library but I enjoyed it so much I went ahead and bought it). I have started waking up at 6 am and exercising first thing, then having breakfast after exercise. I do house chores and/or work until noon, which is when I eat lunch. I’m supposed to not eat until dinner around 5:30 or 6, but I haven’t been able to break the habit of snacking in the aftern...

Listening to myself

I don't know if this is me just wanting to give up, or being lazy or something like that. But I'm starting to think that I need to listen to my instincts more. I've been trying to get a more efficient system in place for my writing so that I can be more productive. I do think it was good for me to try different things, but a lot of the things I was trying to do were very difficult for me. I kept pushing on, hoping that it would get easier but it hasn't. For example, I've been trying to get my writing done first thing after I wake up. For some people, that's the best time to write their minds are fresh and they are full of energy. I do admit that I am less tired than I am in the afternoon, but it was really hard for me to focus and get the writing done. I was easily distracted, and it was difficult to focus. It has always taken me a little bit of time to get going in the morning. I'm not entirely sure why that is, because it's not like my brain is f...

Day 128: Finding a trick to use for productivity

I took another sick day yesterday, so I didn’t post, and while I got a late start today and I’m still not 100%, I want to get some work done on my Reader Magnet . I’m still doing my experiment of switching workstations to cause less stress and injury to my body, since using only my standing desk or only my sitting desk causes problems. Today I’m writing a little bit outside in a deck chair. Most of my yard is pretty ugly since we stopped watering the grass when there was that drought a few years ago, but this is the corner of the yard, which is my view as I’m writing today: Something about the green trees is rather soothing, so I’m hopeful I can get a lot done while I’m out here. I’m on my Alphasmart and I started a 2-hour monster on 4thewords.com , but I intend to switch to my standing desk after an hour, so I won’t have any problems with my word count or finishing on time. *** When I first started using 4thewords, I didn't like the large word count monsters because the...
