I've left Dorion Mode deafeningly silent for far too long, at least to my own ears. I've had fits and starts at new articles, but similar to times before(i), the vast majority remain unfinished and unpublished. An upside is I won't be starting from zero, so getting some articles published and improvements implemented soon shouldn't be far off.
To help myself back on track, I'll follow the time tested strategy of paying proper attention to the boring and take up the practice of publishing plans and reviews. For this week then :
- Dream(ii) Journal : 10 mins first thing upon waking, maybe, some day, some end up turning into articles. ;
- Exercise : 30-45 mins each morning ;
- Writing : 90 minute block after exercise. Maybe an afternoon session too, but let's start here ;
- JWRD tech : 3 hours to prepare a Thinkpad from inventory for a sale in pipeline ;
- JWRD sales : 30 hours scattered across lunch meeting Tuesday and networking event Tuesday evening, following up with prospects in pipeline, open new leads, document in CRM ;
- Daily review : 30 mins per day, document what I did each day with a comment here, that should make the weekly review easier.
A key will be to mitigate distractions and focus on prosecuting the decisions I've made. There's no real need for news/external input before noon and probably full days can be passed without much at all ; if it's important, I'll hear about it soon enough. If I'm going to read something, read some Trilema, #ossasepia logs and/or younghands.
In any case, whether a person's words mean exactly how they read, or the opposite depends on what they do ; so let's wrap this up for now and see how I can improve hour by hour, day by day to be a teeny tiny little bitty baby bit less retarded and let compound interest take care of the rest.

- I've been trying out the so called Carnivore diet for about 2 weeks now. Basically, eating only animal foods, no plants. I had so-so dreams prior, but now I'm getting at least 2-3 pretty clear dreams per night. I want to start developing the skill of lucid dreaming and from what I've read, keeping a journal of your dreams is an important first step. [^]
After publishing this Monday afternoon I :
Today I :
Not the greatest time tracking in the moment, but got'er done between returning from networking and sleep, something to build from. Feliz noche.

Yesterday I :
3 nights out till 11 is adding up. Need to go to bed at sane hour tonight and keep better track of time spent during the day. Re-reading this article every morning will help.

Today I :
Getting better with lots of room to improve, these reviews are helping, "nobody could've predicted", FFS, OMFG. Well, "Better late than pregnant." I suppose.

Congrats for getting back on the wagon!
In boring points, I hope that help will be doing the dishes more than once per four days of cooking (if I interpret correctly) ! My own ideal, usually achieved, is that everything is squared away before going to bed; the dishes air-dry overnight and each day starts fresh with a clean, supportive environment. Not like it takes much more time or attention than letting it stack up, yet the time becomes more predictable & habitual, and it pays dividends in not being constantly in your own way (just to name one benefit).
I'm a bit jealous of the cooking seemingly always coming under 25 minutes; I guess that's an upside of the carnivore regimen.

Thanks.
It was the time tracking that was lacking, not the cleanliness, lol.
Yeah, between frying eggs and sticking meats in the oven after seasoning, doesn't take too long.

Cool, then it might be other inhabitants of my present environment that caused the response, who have inexplicably not asked for my opinions on the subject!
