Tuesday, August 05, 2003 A Week Sans TV: Day 2 Well, after getting out of work late, making dinner, and catching up with a little email, turns out that I only had time to take care of a week's worth of coverage before 11. But at least I didn't have to rush through that. And at least TV wasn't distracting me from it. Last night went well on a number of levels. For one, by about 11 I was jonesin' for some tubin', and so I got ready for bed, climbed under the covers with The Daily Show... and, therefore, was asleep before midnight! Which hasn't really happened in a long time, because I tend to get distracted around this time of night, avoiding the bedtime, and TV's just a big ol' enabler on that front. About halfway through Daily Show, I got kinda bored, and because I had caught up with the live play after fast-forwarding past commercials, I ended up reading during the last half of the show. So I'd say I watched fifteen minutes of TV yesterday. Which ain't too bad. Tonight, I'm exhausted, and if I get through ten minutes, it'll be a miracle. Tomorrow, though, will be interesting -- the good TV's starting to pile up on the TiVo, and while I've got plenty of projects going on, there aren't any deadlines, and nothing is more helpful to productivity than deadlines. It's only three days until Saturday, I have to remind myself. Three days until all the TV I can watch. Will check in tomorrow and report on progress. But so far, so good! | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
