Thanks Saskia. Day 70 here.

In addition to catching up on sleep, I got sick of feeling constantly behind the curve at work. Preoccupation and its sidekick procrastination had left a mounting list of minor, dull and avoided tasks that (I suddenly realized) was stressing me out immensely.

So I started the day off with a list and just committed to doing nothing but scratching them off. Most were rather harmless 20 minute tasks, and the type of task that you naturally avoid anyhow (typing up notes, sending a budget update, changing some code on a website) because they are so dull.

Didn't get them all done -- but got most of them done, and feel much better for it.

As a reward I think I'll kick off early now and go for a swim
