www.inkthinkerblog.com — Get up earlier. Yes, that’s right, folks, getting up earlier gives you more waking hours to get more done. Breaking news, I know.
It seems that despite my puppy’s genius IQ, she hasn’t grasped the concept of Daylight Saving Time. Thus, I am up every morning by 7:30 whether I want to be or not. Granted, I’m not at my perkiest then, but I’m getting more done in my days than I have in a long time. Yesterday is a bad example, because I spent most of the day thinking about doing things instead of actually doing them (of course, if you had a mountain of laundry in the other room, a full inbox, and a puppy at your feet, you might feel overwhelmed, too), but the rest of the week has been a smash hit.
As you may remember, I recently purchased $300 worth of running paraphernalia. This week, with all of that extra time thanks to my chronology-challenged pug, I used it! Can you believe it? I’m still reeling. I have to admit, the actual running didn’t go so well (give me a break, I sit in front of my computer like 10 hours a day–how in shape did you really expect me to be?), but I wore the shoes and the pants and the sassy salmon-colored top, and Pickles and I rocked the 35-minute power walk 4 of the last 5 days. We were awesome. Two more weeks of this and I might be able to start actually running a little.
Amazing.
