Today I was awoken at 11AM by a call that told me I got the job. That being the case, I had a very energizing start on the day. I got up immediately and fed my dog, as well as cleaned up in the kitchen. I went on to do more chores but lets see what I had planned for the day first.

Must do:

-Cat litter.

-Pet room.

-Clean around house.

-Shower.

-Print volunteer form (and fill out some of it).

-Call relative.

-Call for a couch.

-Blog.

-Research.

Might do:

-Make something for Sunday.

-Exercise.

-Put Gas in the car (or, better yet, convert it to solar! I wish.)

Extra:

-Garden.

-Wash sheets / towels.

-Check email.

Its 3:30 now, and so far I’ve: Cleaned the cat litter and in the pet room, cleaned around the house, called about the couch, showered, printed and filled out the volunteer form, did a little research, gardened, and checked my email. I didn’t call my relative because I saw that her car was gone, and this meant that our plans were canceled anyway because she was at work. I anticipate exercising later. I also anticipate getting a couch, but I’m waiting for the person who owns it to get back to me.

So far I got all my chores done. I would like to do more research though, so I’ll keep that in mind throughout the day if I ever want to sit down and do some mental work. My research has been going somewhat slow but I’m just glad that its going at all. Some is better than none. I can do better, yes, but for now I am satisfied. I suppose thats a lazy person’s perspective but its an improvement from how I was before. Maybe if I continue for another ten days I’ll set limits for how little I can get away with in certain areas.

I’m beginning to notice just how little time it takes to do my chores. My house-mate even showed me a way how to make some of them go faster. I find I can get a lot done that needs to be done, but then I slow down with the other things that I don’t feel are quite as necessary, but are still important (like my research). I’m passionate about it, but when it gets right down to it I find my mental clarity is wanting. A resolve to this would be a raw diet, but for now I’m satisfied sticking with vegan. Raw vegan is the goal, and I’m confident I am working my way there.

More later.

There wasn’t much that I did the rest of the day.  I never got in contact with the man with the couch, so I didn’t go to get it.  I ate a little, watched some TV, spoke with my father to sort out some things, and found a doctor to go to for a physical I need for a volunteer position.  I’d rather go to a holistic practitioner but I’m fairly certain they won’t accept any evaluation from an alternative doctor.  No worries, though, as its just a physical and I won’t let them push any drugs on me, or vaccines, and hopefully no blood work if the exam doesn’t require it.

I finished absolutely everything I had to do today, but unfortunately almost nothing that I didn’t have to do.  That being said, it seems I am just barely skirting by on this un-lazy challenge rather than pushing myself forward.  I will be satisfied with that for now, but after some things settle down in this new “hectic” lifestyle of mine, I’ll be forced to push myself harder, perhaps for another trial.

So far things are going better than they were before.  That being the case, this trial is thus far a success.  Its not mold-breaking, but it is giving me new insight.

I have not been employing any real strategies to get these results, I just find myself more motivated.  I wake in the morning and get things done, then I have all day to relax. I find that when I feel that I have free time, I am more likely to add responsibilities, such as this new job and volunteering.  Unfortunately I usually push myself too far, too fast in these positions, so I am glad to be taking it slow.

From now on I will not be blogging daily about the trial, since things seem to have neutralized.  I am not using any new strategies and I am not learning anything new.  If I do I will make sure to mention it.  For right now, though, I plan to update on the last day to give an overview of how things went.
