When the Planner didn't follow the Plan

Well, getting up at 6:00 am hasn't been going so well. It's only been going at all less than half of the time. It's a real struggle.

The thing is, I don't like going to bed early - I never have. Exciting things happen after 9 pm, and I'm too young to miss them just because I want to get a good jog in in the morning. And I'm not the person who can go on 6 hrs of sleep on a regular basis, no sir. It's a rock and a hard place, seems to be. But, like a good problem solver, I'm looking at other approaches to get my day started on the right foot and schedule plenty of time in my day to accomplish the things I want to be doing. The best solution I've found? Get up later. In my case this will require getting to work later, so I'll work on that one. Stay tuned for updates on that one. In the meantime, I think I should give the 6am plan one more ol' college try. Maybe nothing exciting will happen or I'll magically learn how to happily live off of 6 hrs sleep per night. (Any insight on how to accomplish THAT is most welcome)

Also, I think I've learned here that it is better to do something, then blog about it. Might make for better reading. And I'll find some other things to blog about in between. Hey go easy on me, I'm new to this blogging thing. So for right now, I feel like I don't have much to share. I've been reading a lot.. articles, blogs, DIYs, recipes, lists, how-to's, all sorts of things. My "health kick" seems to have taken hold pretty consistently and permanently, and now I seem to be on a self-improvement kick. I don't have much to show for my learning though, so still nothing substantial to share. I've read that one of the big downfalls of smart people is that they can easily get stuck thinking, and spend so much time thinking that they spent not enough time doing. They get bogged down in the intellectual exercise of things and never get to the putting it into action part. That's part of what personal blogging is supposed to help, right? Help you organize, motivate, and put into action. So I'm determined to do, and not just think and talk about.  I'll be back, when I have something to write.
