Improving Everything But Sleep

Due to my last post being a day early, these stats are for two fortnights plus one day. These saw an excess of phone-related distractions, impacting sleep. But after cancelling a few commitments from last year, I have been more relaxed and productive generally.

Twenty-nine being a prime number, I was worried the averages would be tricky, but it came out quite cleanly:

  • I got to sleep an average of 2 hours after midnight, for 7 hours and 9 minutes’ sleep a night (both figures to the minute!). These are typical, but feel worse, possibly because they include lost sleep from a 3-a.m. work call.
  • I made 17 things (8.5 per fortnight). Ten were in the past 14 days alone, so the trend is an increase:
    • 4 evenings of D&D prep,
    • 4 pieces of writing (3 scenes and a poem),
    • it to 2 social events (the wedding, and wedding setup day),
    • 2 evenings of work on my tax,
    • 1 blog post (of an existing but unshared poem),
    • and one evening each of budget, appointments, trip planning, and helping sort my late father’s poetry.
  • And I finished A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which was a nice enjoyable thriller – though of course with the dark turns you expect in a murder mystery. I didn’t read another book in the second fortnight, but I did go to see a surrealist art exhibition 🙂

The D&D game continues well, though the party have had a hard time of it lately, between escaped enemies and a couple of nasty undead fights.
