I got up before noon. I showered. I started some laundry.

I'm about to do a little more laundry (including putting things away!), then do some scheduling on my computer.

I feel like I want to do everything on my list RIGHT NOW, but I'm trying really hard to be cognizant of the fact that that's how I go into burnout. I want to stop the cycle. I'm not super sure how, but being aware and mindful is hopefully a good start.

I was never one to be hyperactive daily, but the way I'm itching to move my body today makes me think that I am in bursts, and that's when I have tended to get things done. Instead of putting all of my focus on tasks that need to be done (like I have in the past), should I do some self care? Should I go skating?! I always put self-care last and then it tends not to happen, so that would definitely be a change for me.

I don't really know how to manage myself, and my assessment is still a couple of weeks away, but this go-hard/crash-and-burn cycle is so exhausting and unhealthy. I really want to be better. I just don't know how yet.
