Zzzz…
I spend about 27% of my life yawning. And maybe 1% saying “daaamn” afterwards. I don’t sleep very much. If they develop a pill that allows you to stay awake indefinitely, I’d like to be involved in the drug trials. I think there was an X-Files episode about loss of sleep leading to madness, but I might not be able to tell the difference anyway, so I’m willing to risk it.
It’s not insomnia. I choose to stay awake. I’m trying to maximize my time. You know, GTD and all that efficiency crap. The lack of updates on this site notwithstanding, I’m usually working on something for myself, or somebody else. I also have a few side projects I hope to complete before I die. It’s not looking promising.
Nicole likes to come in the office, glare at me and comment, “I wish your computer would blow up”. I don’t think that kind of hostility is very healthy. She likes to remind me that my chronic lack of regular sleep leads to episodes where I’ll pass out for 16 hours straight. I think “power nap” is the appropriate term. I’ll usually lie fall face down on the couch. I prefer a position that allows for minimal oxygen, and maximum strange red marks on my face.
I look tired most of the time. Those aren’t bags, I’m just trying to build character in my face. People at work don’t ask about my haggard appearance, so they must think I’m drunk. Or that I’m a meth addict. I think Prairie City Bakery might be putting heroin in their cookies. Look into that for me.
I’m not convinced that my 21 hours on, 3 hours off schedule is making me more productive. Sure, I make a lot of progress on the little things, and it does allow plenty of time to not read new entries on Kartooner (just kidding Erik!). But I might be doing the same amount of stuff, just spread out over a longer period of time. I’m generally more productive at work, but that’s just because I’ve set the bar so low. The productivity application I wrote came crashing down yesterday because I decided reports should be spelled “reorts”. Caffeine interferes with my pinky finger.
