April Goal Progress: Week 2 Check In

health and fitness, productivity / Leave a Comment

Well, it looks like my prediction last week was spot on. Turns out that when I’m not sick, it’s a lot harder to get my eight hours of sleep in! I had a lot of nights where I got home in time to get a full eight hours, but still came up short. At first, I was starting to think the problem is that I usually get up around 5am to work out. That means in order to get in eight hours of sleep, I’d have to go to bed by 9pm – which is pretty tough to do! But if I don’t work …

April Goal Progress: Week 1 Check In

goal setting, health and fitness / Leave a Comment

Well, my first week of trying to get eight hours of sleep every night has actually been quite successful! Even if I go so far as to measure it by actual hours slept (rather than by effort like I had originally planned) I did pretty well. Here, take a look: Unfortunately, despite all of this sleeping I still caught a cold. On Monday night I started developing that tight feeling in my throat that indicates something bad is about to happen, and that continued all through Tuesday but didn’t materialize. Until Wednesday, when I woke up feeling terrible. I considered staying home (i.e., …

How ClassPass Helps Me Commit to My Workouts

goal setting, health and fitness / Leave a Comment

I’ve mentioned that I use ClassPass to book my workouts at boutique studios. For $99 a month, I get unlimited classes (up to three per month per studio) at a ton of studios I love! However, the other catch besides three classes per studio per month is that you can only sign up for classes a week in advance – and a lot of the studios that I like tend to fill up, sometimes even before availability is open to ClassPass holders. So, I’ve gotten in the habit of logging on every morning and booking my workout for six days out …

TGIT: I Can Has Sleep Now?

I_Can_Has_Sleep

Thank goodness it’s Thursday! It’s hard to believe that it’s already nearing the end of January (where does the time go?). As Monday nears, I’m thinking a lot about what I want my goals for February to be. I’m happy that I’ve gotten in the habit this month of using my to-do list more productively than I have been in a while, but I definitely didn’t achieve my original goal of scheduling all my time. (On the bright side, I achieved some side goals I had made for myself in testing out a new habit app – more on that …

How I’m Dealing with Insomnia

health and fitness, productivity / 4 Comments

Ever since returning from my recruiting trip to New York a few weeks ago, my sleep schedule has been off. At first it was the normal time zone issues: I was naturally getting up much earlier than usual (5am) daily. I didn’t stress too much about it, though – I figured my schedule would eventually start shifting back to normal, especially when I’d go for a late night or two out with friends. I was definitely indulging my weird sleep schedule by going to bed earlier than usual, but the problem was that even when I did stay out late, …
