My (Latest) Big Fat List

Here, I thought some of you polyphasers (or the poly-curious no I do not mean sex)  might enjoy seeing my latest “Big Fat List” of things to do during the sleepy parts of the adjustment period.  Or maybe you’d just enjoy a splash of orange?

The items, in case you can’t read them, are:

Sort clothes
Organize a drawer / shelf (implied is “or any other small area”)
Do a (kungfu) form
Pushups/situps
Learn a yoga pose
Organize/update lists
File paperwork
Videogames (Currently, Tales of Symphonia II and Zelda: Twilight Princess, neither of which I’ll get made fun of for at all I’m sure)
Draw/paint (No, I suck at it; it’s just fun)
Calligraphy (ditto; Chinese calligraphy specifically)
Pack [friend-who-lived-here-briefly's] things
Really thorough bath/shower (stupid picky personal care items are great time-eaters)
Pack bento box
Memorize a poem or song
“Piano” practice (on the keyboard, since it has a volume knob and the piano emphatically does not)
Shirt design (design one of the thousand or so T-shirt slogans I’ve come up with)
Writing (endless!  And wonderful!  ;)

notes:

-  Everything on this list is “night-friendly”, because my days are already totally full of work-kid-kungfu, and I’m not going to have trouble staying awake then.  But I know I’ll be wiped out and needing distraction after eleven, and between 4 and 7 a.m.  So “practice playing drums”, for instance, is not on here.  (Yes I do, and yes I have a kit.  ;)

-  Also, my handwriting is sorta horrible.  But to be fair, I wrote this on a tiny notebook while laying on the floor.  Because I am secretly five.

-  Many iterations of this list have taught me to have the little Key you see here, so that I can quickly spot which items involve lots of physical movement, lots of thinking, staring at a screen, or are particularly healthy or necessary.  This is so that I can grab the list with “arrgh I can’t stand the computer anymore” or “I’ve already done three hours of kungfu today” or “my brain is fried” or “Hmm, I should do something healthy or productive” in mind, and quickly find something to do.  When sleep-deprived, it’s best not to count on being able to make complex decisions.  To say the least.

-  Why yes, if you have a list you’d like to share, I’d love to see it!
