What’s one mistake you keep repeating (and repeating)?
Just one? But there are so many.
Staying up too late and sleeping in. And that’s fucking up a lot of things. And it’s probably part of why I repeat lots of other mistakes.
Seems like it should be an easy fix, right? Get my ass up early one day and I’ll be tired so I’ll go to sleep earlier that night… repeat. Unfortunately, while I have had plenty of days where I’ve had to get up early, I still manage to stay up at least three hours later than I should. And so… repeat.
I’ve even gone so far as to get up and drive my kids to school only to go back to sleep when I get home. And… repeat.
Yesterday I took a freaking nap. What am I? Two?
p.s. — Speaking of mistakes, I recently had a conversation about my place in my family. It’s kinda related. I have three sisters: the oldest, the youngest, the favorite, and the fuck-up. Guess which one I am…

Oh man sleeping habits are the worst!! But naps are scientifically proven to be very beneficial so take them! Its better to maintain a steady sleep schedule and nap if you need extra sleep then to over sleep one day and try to sort it out on other days 😉😉

Yeah, naps are okay, I guess. But I think I need to get myself on a regular sleep schedule. In fact, I’m sure it would help me. I wish I knew why I can’t seem to do it.

I woke up at 9:30. Not too bad for me. But then I read in bed for a while and didn’t make it out until 11. I always manage to lose my day.

I’m always promising myself that I’ll get up early so that I’m not rushing for that first meeting, then inevitably I’ll look at my phone, go down a rabbit hole of Twitter or something, and end up slapping on the mascara right before the Zoom call!

I totally understand. The first thing I do when I wake up is pick up my phone. It usually keeps me lying there in bed for another hour or two. That’s bad!

Last night I fell asleep around 3am. I had still been reading on my phone and at 3:01, I woke up because I dropped my phone on my face!
