The ability to 'compartmentalise' my activities is a real useful tool in my life. 
I rigidly set a timer of one hour onto my phone while I read a book. Then I allow two hours to enjoy a film. Maybe two half hour sections on a box set I'm working my way through. 
These examples have stretched too far though and it's something I need to reign in. 
I seem to have applied rigid rules to my every move and it's crippling me for no good reason. 

Let's say I eat my breakfast and I already plan to eat dinner at 12pm. 
That means if I have a snack it has to be eaten at 10am. If I have a yogurt then it has to be eaten at 2pm because I will eat my tea at a predetermined time too. 

So you see that I sometimes have to stop being so daft. 
If I'm hungry I should eat then. If I want a yogurt earlier then I should just eat it.
The problem is the feeling I feel when I have set rules and not followed them. It's ridiculous. I need to lighten up and I am trying. Spinning plates of recreation is a good way to cover all bases and utilise time the best but when it becomes all consuming, it's a bad thing. 

I can be a prisoner of myself. 

I will endeavour to be easier on myself. 



I saved a shoebox for this new year of 2012 so that I could save cinema ticket stubs and other momento's which will paint a picture of the year so that I can build up a collection of shoeboxes which itemise every year. I will write on a piece of paper inside any important results as they happen. It will be like The time capsule boxes that are popular with schools which they bury on the school grounds. 

Yeah just another thing I commit to for no really good reason. My diaries keep needing to be written. My blog seems to be still somewhere to throw any excess thought. The only thing that seems to have reduced in content is Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. However I now post music I have made on Soundcloud which is more time consuming than the others combined. 


But all things considered I still feel EXACTLY where I want to be.
