I’ll get Enough Sleep When I’m Dead

Yeah, that may be true, but maybe I’m getting enough now. According to Steve Pavlina’s article, “How to Become an Early Riser“, I’m doing okay — I’m not sleep deprived.
Steve writes,

The optimal solution for me has been to combine both approaches. It’s very simple, and many early risers do this without even thinking about it, but it was a mental breakthrough for me nonetheless. The solution was to go to bed when I’m sleepy (and only when I’m sleepy) and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time (7 days per week). So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5am), but I go to bed at different times every night.

I still kind of doubt that this will help my wife stop worrying about me and the rather large difference in hours of sleep she and I get.

I’ll bet those super-managers about whom I wrote in my last entery are early risers.

Book Review: (wait, I don’t know how to read)

I follow a few business manager’s blogs who fairly frequently post entries reviewing books they recently read. I don’t understand how these guys have the time to work, participate in family activities, research new business/management/productivity ideas, develop these types of ideas themselves, post tons of blog entries, comment on everyone else’s entries, and then have the time (and desire) to read books and write reviews.

Maybe they’re listening to audio books in their car. Maybe they’re blogging on PDA’s while in meetings. Maybe they’re reading Cliff-notes or someone else’s review. Or, maybe they’re not really human – just super-intelligent aliens or robots. Whatever it is, I don’t have it. I wish I could read. I would love to be able to post book reviewing entries and carry conversations about it. I love to talk about books I’ve read. Unfortunately, I haven’t read a book that wasn’t an assignment or part of a book group since leaving the Navy. I’ll just blame it on college burnout.
