Ash Wednesday -- Giving up for Lent

Yesterday was not the best of days.  I was exhausted from not getting much sleep the night before and the emotional drain of having a meeting later in the day.   I realized that much of my career has been spent with high anxiety about how things would go.   As someone for whom planning is a real mental chore,  and who breaks out in hives when bullshitting, it's a real struggle to get through a meeting, and I think my anxiety the entire day was part of that.  

The meeting went okay though, so I guess what I did do was worth it.  I came home and felt incredibly tired, so I went to bed at 9, reading a bit and then sleeping.   7 hours of sleep on a weeknight is unheard of for me.

Overall, not a great day in terms of progress toward goals, but I think sleep may be the most important thing I can start doing for myself.
