in which the full extent of my geekliness is revealed

[electricland]

So in the Great Quest for Personal Growth, a Positive Attitude, and Leaving Work at a Reasonable Hour, I've started a logbook in which to track:
- time I get up
- time I leave the apartment
- time I get in to work
- whether or not I've made a plan for the day
- whether or not I brought lunch to work and where I eat it
- time I stop working
- time I leave the office
- praiseworthy accomplishments for the day
- things to improve for tomorrow

We'll see how this goes, but I think it will be good for me.

Gym last night, then faced reality and bought a stack of frozen entrees. Just because I'm not cooking at the moment doesn't mean I have to buy ALL my meals.

Maybe so, but I think I'd rather be anal-retentive than a gibbering workaholic, which is where I seem to be headed...

You are NOT a gibbering workaholic...yet. (Don't stay at work so late, that may help.) But I do think trying to keep a journal with all the above might be a touch depressing? panic-inducing? I think you are doing fine - see previous journal entry where you managed to do a million things after work. I am STILL impressed.

Well, see, I think the point is to help her get out of work earlier more consistently. The journal is her way of trying to implement some things we discussed last night so that she won't turn into a gibbering workaholic. Leaving work earlier is definitely a theme.

I see. That's definitely a good place to start.
