and went to bed.

Today was a quiet day, but I went out to lunch with Smith, and the again in the evening to a science talk in the city, which was pretty interesting.  I nearly didn't make it out, because I had a nasty sinus headache, and I was running late ... but I took a couple of sinus tablets, and made it into the talk even though I was late.  It was worth it!  And then I had dinner with April and one of her friends.

Monday, 23 August 2010

Well, today I'd planned to do a proper morning routine including the laundry, brush the hair off the bedroom floor so that Smith could vacuum there, go shopping (we needed eggs, rice and a couple of other things) and maybe make some more progress on sorting my clothes.

I got the laundry done ...

Other good things I did today (not in order)

Food-wise
I had junk food for breakfast :P Apple pie, an apple and a bag of chips.  A girl who was organising a picnic told me I had to bring lollies, chips and chocolates, and because none of them are picnic food, we didn't end up opening them on the day.  And then I didn't have lunch, and had most of the lollies for afternoon tea.
I ate a proper dinner (Smith made it). 5c.
Also had a couple of glasses of water. 5c.

Self-care:
Brushed and put up my hair: 5c
Brushed my teeth: 5c
Washed and moisturised my face: 5c

Preparing to get things done:
Didn't wake up before 10.  I had a large number of vivid dreams, and woke up at 11.
Got dressed to shoes: 5c
Went out of the house, with Smith after he got home from work: 5c.
Marked my calendar: 5c.

Sunday, 22nd August 2010

Picnic day today!  Went out to celebrate the birthday of a friend of a friend, with the result that birthday girl is now a new friend of mine :)  She shares my love of David Attenborough, what more can you ask?

Also, yesterday I laid out my clothes for today, bringing my total to 20c for the day.  I also forgot to mention that I drank several cups of water rather than just one, a habit which hopefully I will be able to keep up...

So, today, I
got up before 10am: 5c
Got dressed: 5c
Brushed my hair and did it up: 5c
Ate something for breakfast, but not really substantial...
Went out: 5c
Did something fun: 5c (haven't noted this one in a while!)

Today's total: 65c

Totals are staying up there ... :)

Saturday, 21st August, 2010

Not a very successful day today.

Woke up about 11, ate a few bits of food without much enthusiasm, mucked about on the computer for a while and had a nap.  Went out to vote and had lunch, then had another nap.  Maybe tomorrow will be better ...

Drank a glass of water: 5c
Ate a proper lunch: 5c
Wrote my blog: 5c

Total: 15c

It's working, kind of ...

Actually, I forgot to write down that yesterday I did the washing :) And I also had a shower, although I didn't get to bed before midnight.  So that brings yesterday's total to 75c.

Yesterday I spent some time reading my backlog of emails from FlyLady.  When I say backlog, there were two thousand-odd messages there ... I haven't read them since December.  Instead, I read a few, and then took the advice in one of the emails, which was to delete all the rest!  They're still available on the BigTent site if I ever want to go and look at them, and it means I'm not spending a huge amount of time on it.

Anyway, one of the motivating messages that I saw in one of the emails was this: "Self-discipline is remembering what you really want."  I wrote it on a post-it note, and I'll try to stick to it ...

Here's what I managed today:

Got up before 10am: 5c
Put my watch on: 5c
Had a substantial breakfast: 5c
Got dressed: 5c
Brushed my hair: 5c
Wrote some post-it notes: 5c
Picked up lots of clothes in my bedroom: 5c
Sorted some of the junk that doesn't really belong in my bedroom: 5c
Ate lunch (leftovers and toast): 5c
Had a shower: 5c
Put my breakfast bowl and lunch bowl in the dishwasher (eventually): 5c
Prepared dinner (I cut the vegetables and supervised Smith cooking): 5c
Put my dinner plate in the dishwasher: 5c
Writing my blog: 5c

And it's past midnight, so I can't go to bed before midnight now ... making a total of 70c.

Time to tally up...

Back on the wagon...

I've been drifting for a while, feeling particularly unmotivated ... but I've told enough people about this blog now, that I've managed to guilt-trip myself into starting up again.

Today, I...

Got up before 10am: 5c
Had a substantial breakfast : 5c
Got dressed to shoes: 5c
Brushed my hair: 5c
Washed and moisturised my face: 5c

Drank a bottle of water: 5c
Planned dinner: 5c

Today"s total: 65c

Time to have a shower and go to bed at a reasonable hour...

Oh, and one of Smith's friends, who I'll call striplight, actually said he'd sponsor me for this blog as well, by matching our contributions!  Now I've got to add up a total and set up the charity:water account so we can get started.  I haven't reached a particularly substantial amount yet, but we'll get there one day :)

So much to write ...

... where to start?

First things first, I guess ... today's list:

Total for today so far: $1.25 ... I don't know how it got that high, but hopefully I can keep it up :)

The story of today actually starts yesterday.  I was rather stressed the night before last, and ended up getting out of bed at about 4am intending to write something, but getting stuck on the computer.  Another part of the stress was the fact that Smith's brother was going to drive us to Melbourne yesterday for their grandmother's funeral - and I don't actually feel safe with Smith's brother at the wheel.  I'd also had to cancel a date with a friend, which I'd been looking forward to, only to find out afterwards that I didn't need to cancel it after all.  And I'd finally found a present that I had intended to give to Tie - Smith's brother's wife - for her baby shower, which I'd attended three days before.

I couldn't actually have articulated any of those stresses yesterday, but after I finally went back to bed (half an hour before the alarm) and sleepwalked my way through half the morning, I was feeling quite weighed down.  There are times when I can only say to Smith "I don'wanna..." and he has to ask me "Don'wanna what?" - to which I generally have no reply.  Yesterday was one of those times ... He offered me the choice of not going to Melbourne with them, but that didn't seem right to me.  What didn't I want to do?  I didn't even know.

And then I had a phone call from my psychiatrist's office, reminding me of my next appointment - tomorrow - which I would not have been able to make, if I'd gone to Melbourne.  That was that, really.  I conceded defeat and went back to sleep.  Smith looked in on me to say goodbye, before he left, but I could hardly wake up to farewell him properly. 

I slept for the rest of the morning and the afternoon, only to wake and find that Smith had forgotten to take the present for his brother as well.  My sister prompted me to have lunch, but I could only eat half of what I served myself.  I spent the evening on the computer, searching the Internet for something - I wasn't quite sure what it was.  I think April had dinner at some point, but I didn't.

Before she went to sleep, April decided that today needed to be different.  We needed a routine, to get things done and tidy up the house.  She had a large amount of work to do today, and she could see my lack of motivation in getting my own things done.  So we agreed that today we would wake up before 10am, make a routine and a plan for the day, and remember to eat three meals at appropriate times.  She also told me to have dinner - which I hadn't - but I didn't have the energy to prepare anything, even though there was plenty of food I could have reheated.  I managed a shower, then got stuck on the computer again.  Finally, at 2am, I found what I was looking for, set my alarm, and went back to bed.

So, today was different.  While I didn't manage to get up before 10am, I did find it easier to get going, especially once we had mapped out the plan for the day.  I can hardly believe that I've done 25 things so far, with a few more planned before I go to bed.  I even brushed my teeth!  We'll see if we can continue with the routine, I guess...

The daily grind: Starting again

It's been a while since my last post.  I had a string of bad days ... Well, good and bad things happened, but I didn't write anything down.  I guess that's one of the problems with depression - it makes you unreliable about regular things.  Like habits, as well, I suppose.  But today was definitely a good day.

Here's the list:
Rising before midday: 5c.  I had an alarm clock to help me.
Getting dressed to shoes: 5c.
Leaving the house: 5c.  By myself!  Smith wasn't feeling well, so he went back to bed.
Completing at least one planned task: 5c.
Staying focussed at least once: 5c.  I successfully avoided a distraction by deferring it until later.  And then I remembered to do it.
Eating lunch: 5c.
Studying: 5c.  More on that later, I guess...
Preparing dinner: 5c.
Lifting my own mood: 5c.  I blabbed to Smith for a bit about my study, just to talk to him, and it made me happy.  And then he was able to help me.
Cleaning a hot spot! 5c.  This is a FlyLady thing.  More below...
Preparing and planning study: 5c.  I downloaded a lecture so I can listen to it in the morning, when I'm most alert.

Total: 55c

And the analysis:
Well, there are a lot more items on the list than I thought there would be.  Even if I had to make some of them up!  And not everything I did today is part of this list ... I guess that's because it's not your normal to-do list, it's a list of the little things that I'm trying to remember to accomplish.

If I listed the things I planned for today that people would normally put on their to-do lists, it would look something like this:
Psychiatrist's appointment
Tutorial
Shopping
Study
Pilates class
Research for my essay
Blogging

According to that list, my day was pretty successful.  The only thing I missed was my Pilates class, while on the plus side I also fitted in an emergency visit to the bank.  (I can't believe I let my bank balance get so low...) And I did get a bit distracted during the research ... but it was midnight ... :P

I was also going to reassign the points for different things according to priority, but I haven't decided whether to do that yet.  Things like, more points for having a shower, brushing my teeth, going to Pilates, and less points for stretching in bed, swiping the bathroom vanity, etc.  I'd rate different tasks depending on what habits I was trying to focus on at the time, starting with the "essentials" and then moving on to other habits.  If I rated today according to that "essentials" list, I didn't do that well.  Didn't have enough breakfast, didn't exercise when I had the chance, and it's a bit late for a shower.  Oh well, I'll just try not to dwell on the negatives...

I'm pretty proud of starting on my hot spot, though.  The Hot Spot Fire Drill is an exercise from the FlyLady website.  The idea is to focus on one area for a short period of time, so you at least get something done.  You work as quickly as you can, as if you had to put out a fire on that spot.  And then you go and put away all the things that you took out of the spot.  I managed to clear a workable space on my desk, and not just by stashing things - they actually got put away in their proper places.  Maybe I'll be able to keep it clear this time ... Or at least clean it regularly.

Anyway, it's way past midnight ... Time to sleep before I get distracted again.

Today wasn't one of the good days.

After staying up horribly late last night, I was so tired this morning that I wasn't motivated to get anything done.  I procrastinated over going out, because I wanted to find a card to send with a letter, and I had no idea where the card might be in amongst my clutter.  In the end I decided I would just go out to the newsagent and buy another card, but I never did that.  Instead, I had a rather unpleasant phone call, that rather ruined the rest of my day.

Here's today's tally:
Tuesday, 15th June 2010
Got out of bed before midday. 5c.
Made the bed. 5c.
Got dressed.  5c.
Swished the toilet: 5c.
Had something substantial for breakfast - just.  5c.
Made dinner: 5c.
Cleaned up the kitchen after cooking: 5c.
Cleared the plates after dinner: 5c.
Had a shower: 5c.
Scrubbed the shower: 5c.

Yup, there wasn't really anything of value between breakfast and dinner.  Didn't get anything done that I intended to do, didn't do anything fun.  Just mooched about on the internet all day.

Oh well ... That's 50c earned, at least.  If I count writing my blog and shining my sink, and go to bed before midnight, I'll have earned my puzzle book.

Time to double-check the totals ...

29th May: 35c
30th May: 45c (I counted wrong in my post.)
31st May: 65c
1st June: 55c
2nd June: 55c
3rd June: 30c
6th June: 25c
7th June: 20c
12th June: 40c
13th June: $1.00
14th June: $1.00
Missing days: $1.35
15th June, early morning: 30c
15h June, rest of the day: 50c

Total so far: $7.85.  Well, I'm closer than I thought ... But still a little way to go.

Tallying up so far

It's surprisingly easy to get 20 tiny little things done in a day, to earn a dollar for charity:water.  Hopefully I'll have my puzzle book paid off by the end of the week!  On the other hand, on a bad day I don't get much done...

For example, Saturday was an average day.  I managed eight things from my list - which means I didn't do any of the other things I mentioned yesterday.  But I am starting to get used to some of them.  I'm told that if you do something for 21 days in a row, every day, then it becomes a habit.  I hope it's that easy!

Here's today's list:
Monday 14th June, 2010
Got up before midday: 5c
Did some stretching in bed: 5c
Made the bed: 5c
Had a substantial breakfast: 5c
Put my breakfast bowl in the dishwasher: 5c
Did something I intended to do: 5c (In fact I did all the things I wrote on my plan yesterday.)
Took some junk off my desk: 5c
Did something fun: 5c (most of which was planned!)
Ate a proper lunch: 5c
Cleaned up after lunch: 5c
Drank a glass of water: 5c
Brushed Smith's hair: 5c
Brushed my hair: 5c
Took out some recycling: 5c
Checked my worm farm: 5c
Had a shower: 5c
Scrubbed the shower: 5c
Swished the toilet: 5c
Moisturised my face: 5c
Changed the sheets on the bed to clean ones: 5c

So I've earned a dollar so far, and the day's not even done :) I did procrastinate about making dinner, though ... I wasn't sure if my sister April would be home.  But I guess I'll get to that eventually.  I do know what's for dinner ... I just need to make it!

However, right now, before I get distracted by the internets even more, I'm going to try and total up everything I've earned since I started this plan.  That way I'll have a daily total and a cumulative total.

There are days missing, because I didn't write anything down. Too bad.  I'm such a perfectionist, that I normally wouldn't be able to get past that, and I'd get discouraged and give up!  This time I'm just going to accept it and keep going.

Here's the first entry, copied from my private blog.  These days (two weeks later, heh) I just write them down in an exercise book and try to write them here each day.

Day 4, the first day I wrote this blog:
Got out of bed before midday: 5c
Made bed: 5c
Got dressed: 5c
Brushed my hair: 5c
Had a glass of water: 5c
Ate something substantial for breakfast: 5c
Put my breakfast bowl in the dishwasher: 5c

Did something I intended to do: 5c
Had a shower:: 5c
Daily total: 55c
Cumulative total: $1.95

Yes, you did read it right ... this is the first day of the plan that 'having a shower' happened.  Unfortunately I haven't been taking very good care of myself lately!  I'm blessed with not having much BO to speak of, so I've been in the habit of going without.  You'll also notice that there wasn't much of 'brushing hair' or 'moisturising my face' in the early days either, and don't even ask me about teeth!  Not very good hygiene for a doctor ... But now I'm trying to change :)

Of course, after the initial burst of energy, my enthusiasm started to flag ... After writing my blog and finally perfecting the details, I didn't end up getting out of the house.  Which is sad, because Smith was visiting a friend that evening and I'd planned to go too.  I'd run out of energy by that point, and I had to ring up and tell Smith to go alone.

Wednesday, 2nd June 2010
Got up before midday: 5c
Made bed: 5c
Got dressed: 5c
Made soup (from my own chicken stock and fresh ingredients): 5c
Had a shower: 5c
Swished the toilet: 5c
Scrubbed the shower recess: 5c
Did something I intended to do: 5c
Swiped the bathroom vanity: 5c
Moisturised my face: 5c
Had a glass of water: 5c
Daily total: 55c
Cumulative total: $2.50

"Getting to bed before midnight" didn't happen on that day, or the subsequent days.  I got caught up in mindless games on the computer, and didn't even make it out of the house to an important appointment (I had to ring up and reschedule for the next day). 

Here's what I managed on the 3rd of June:
Got up in time for my appointment (9.30am): 5c
Made the bed: 5c
Got dressed, right up to shoes: 5c
Brushed my hair: 5c
Had a glass of water: 5c
Went out of the house: 5c
At that point I stopped writing things down and I probably stopped doing most of the little things as well.  I got depressed over trying to decide what I wanted to do for the next six months, and procrastinated over ... just about everything. 

But then again:

Daily total for 3rd June: 30c
Cumulative total: $2.80

I was still making progress :)

I didn't write anything else down until the next Monday, 7th June.  At breakfast time that day I tried to record what I'd done the previous day, and here is what I came up with:

Sunday, 6th June
Had a substantial breakfast: 5c
Got dressed in more than a dressing gown: 5c
Put my breakfast bowl in the dishwasher: 5c
Made dinner: 5c
Put plate in the dishwasher: 5c
Daily total: 25c
Cumulative total: $3.05

I guess this is the first day I forgot to make the bed.  As I remember, I crawled out of bed some time in the afternoon, and came straight out to the living room.  As for what there was between breakfast and dinner, it was mostly computer games I think.  I'm not sure.  When I spend my days doing nothing, I don't even remember... Then again, who knows what time breakfast actually took place...

Monday 7th June
Got up before midday: 5c
Made bed: 5c
Got dressed: 5c
Had a substantial breakfast: 5c

And the writing stops there, again.  There are 4 days unaccounted for, until I started writing my blog again on Saturday after listening to Pam and meeting my Inner Kiddie.  But here's the totals, anyway:

Monday, 7th June: 20c
Saturday, 12th June: 40c
Sunday, 13th June: $1.00
Monday, 14th June, so far: $1.00
The total so far: $5.65!  Wow, I didn't know I was more than halfway to paying off my puzzle book!

As for the days in between ... Well, yesterday I came up with a way of accounting for them.  I'm going to severely underestimate, because as much as I like giving to charity, I don't like to overstate my own achievements.  What I can do, though, is go through my list of all the things I can think of that I could have done, or that I've listed on other days ... and for each one, if I'm sure that I did it on at least one of the missing days then I'll count it.  Once.  For 5c.

I've been meaning to make a list of everything I've done so far, so here goes...

At least once on the six missing days, did I...

Get out of bed before midday?  Yes. 5c.
Do some stretching in bed?  No.
Make the bed? Yes. 5c.
Get dressed properly, suitable for going out?  Yes. 5c
Do some foot and balance exercises?  I remember doing this the day after Pilates class last week.  5c. See, this is why I wanted to count things from the missing days!
Brush my hair?  Hmm.  Not that I can remember.
Have a substantial breakfast?  Pretty sure I did that at least once last week.  5c.
Put my breakfast bowl in the dishwasher?  Yes, I'm getting good at remembering that one.  5c.
Clear out the dishwashing rack?  Yes. 5c.  (I actually wrote this down for 4th June but it was written a few days later.)
Put on the washing machine?  Yes, I think, although I can't remember which day.  5c.
Brush Smith's hair?  Yes, last Thursday.  He even let me plait it. 5c.
Take out garbage, or the recycling?  I think maybe, but I'm not really sure.
Clean my desk? No. *wrinkles nose*
Check my worm farm?  No.  I hadn't done that for a few months, until today.
Go out of the house?  I can't remember.  That's kind of sad.
Do something I intended to do?  I think once.  5c.
Make and eat lunch?  Yes, there was one day when I reminded my sister.  5c.
Cleaned up after lunch?  I think I managed it that day.  5c.
Did something fun?  I don't remember. (Computer games don't count.)  

Actually yes, I did go out to the Botanical Gardens twice with my Dad.  5c.  And 5c for going out of the house, now that I remember.  And I brushed my hair that day, that's another 5c. Still not sure about taking out the recycling, though.

Spent time with my family: 5c.  (I had lunch with my Mum on Friday.)
Got in touch with a friend: 5c.
Go to Pilates class? Yes.  5c.  I'm supposed to do this every Wednesday.
Had a glass of water?  I think so. I must have.  At least once.  5c.
Had a shower?  At least once.  5c.
Scrubbed the shower?  I think I remember doing this on Friday, or was it Thursday?  5c.
Swished the toilet?  Another thing I wrote down from the 4th of June.  5c.
Swiped the bathroom vanity?  No.
Moisturised my face?  No, I don't think so.
Made dinner?  Yes, at least once.  5c.
Cleaned up a bit after making dinner? Yes.  5c.
Put my plate in the dishwasher?  Yes.  5c.
Cleaned up the kitchen after eating dinner?  I don't think so. It did get a bit messy, and Smith did some cleaning.
Wrote my blog?  Nop.
Made and wrote down plans for the next day?  Yes. 5c.  (There's evidence on my calendar!)
Washed the dishes?  Don't think so.
Changed the sheets?  No. Eww.
Shined my sink?  Not sure.  I think I would have written it down if I'd been that motivated.
Avoided prolonged media use before 6pm?  No.  Sunday was the first day ever that I managed that.  Didn't manage it today, either.

Went to bed before midnight?  At least once, I'm sure.  5c.

And ... that's all I can think of.  Wow, this post is turning into a marathon.  Given that there are ... 39 things on the list, and most of them only take about a minute, it actually shouldn't be too hard to get 20 of them done in a day ... I'll have to see if I can keep it up!

And the total for The Week That Wasn't: $1.35.  Which brings my total to ... $7.90!  Yay!  I'll have earned my puzzle book by the end of the day!  1/250th of a well, here we come!

I don't think I'll be getting to bed before midnight, though...
