28-Hour Day 1 Review

Well, here I am, feeling pretty rested at the beginning of Day 2.

Got a lot of work done yesterday. Ended up not working the full amount of 18 hours, but pretty close. I did feel a little tired getting into work, but so did I yesterday, I think that is just trying to get used to it.

Something I didn't really think about was my eating schedule. Should I just commit 100% to the new day and eat breakfast lunch and dinner through out? Or keep them to the "normal" times? I'm thinking I need to commit 100%. I haven't had many meals lately...been mostly snacking on carrots and protein bars...

Another interesting thing I noticed...usually I am one to do whatever it takes to get work done. Work whatever hours necessary and make sure the quality doesn't suffer and sacrifice whatever I need to sacrifice whether it be sleep or eating. But with this...I can't afford to NOT sleep my 8 hours. I can't afford to not eat healthy and properly. It's almost like, here I am putting myself through something that could potentially be so dangerous I need to actually, finally take better care of myself!

Just last night, as 2am approached and there was still work I could have done...I actually, for the first time in a very long time, forced myself to take sleep over doing the work...that really was interesting and, not gonna lie, a little difficult to do...but it's interesting...

And with putting the 18 hours of work in a day, I know my work won't suffer (more on this later)...so it's almost like I am now being forced to be able to manage both better...set time to sleep, make sure I do eat properly and healthy, and still have 18 hours to make sure my work is awesome :)

And I think my work might actually be BETTER. Knowing exactly how much time I have to work with, knowing I'll be sleeping at a certain time, I can better delegate how much energy and focus I put to something. And with so much more hours at work, I can trust that I'll have the time to do the job I want to do.

So far, so good! The only real con has been not knowing how traffic is when I leave at these different times for work.

Interesting side note: Changed the name of my "To Do List" to "Bucket List" .... :P
