Day 2, complete. Phew. Bit harder then day one, but seriously, it wasn't that bad.
Work went well all day, had the 'urge' to get online quite a bit, but I would remind myself of the directives, and move on back to work. Got quite a bit done. Have to make sure I don't increase my face to face 'chatting' as another excuse to avoid work, but so far, I am happy with the balance I have struck. I did not break a single one of my 'rules', stuck to my guns, and no mistakes.
The timing has ended up being a tough time to start this challenge, but not something I realized at the time. My monthlies started on the morning of this challenge, and usually for 2-3 days I am pretty immobile and uncomfortable. Yesterday was no exception, and neither was the day before. It doesn't really effect my ability to stick to the challenge at work, but by the time I get home in the evening, I am running on empty and need to relax and recover. I had intended my lack of TV and internet to keep me productive at home, but when you cannot get up and move around, it’s a bit limiting. I have resorted to reading quite a bit, which wasn't my intention at all. Good news is, this evening should be better, and I am almost done with the book in question, and that should help. And even with the reading, I have still been more productive then usual, and mentally, feeling pretty good.
My mind seemed a bit more focused yesterday at work. Its definitely too early to tell for sure, but I could see a difference in my focus levels and keeping my mind on track. On top of that, in the late evening I felt my head clearing quite a bit and some mild clarity on some issues I have been jumbling around in my head a lot lately. If this continues to improve, I will be quite pleased.
Result of day 2
- Work Productivity - Good
- Home Productivity - Low (still was not feeling good at all, resorted to reading, which wasn't entirely my best choice)
- Energy about challenge - High
- Physical Energy - Low/moderate (hoping to feel better into day 3)
- Mental clarity - Good
