So tired…

Back to stock photos…

I had intended to write another update post about the writing process. I even did a mind map of what I wanted to write down (see below).

A general idea of what today’s blog post should have been about.

But I didn’t sleep well last night and it has totally thrown me off. It’s my fault, really. I shouldn’t have drank that diet coke. I should have gone to bed at the usual time instead of focused on playing video games.

I just wanted to extend the dopamine hit I got from being so productive in my writing yesterday. I wanted to let the good times roll, you know? Ride that high. That was a mistake.

As a result, I was too tired to look at my draft, let alone edit it. I had a ton of free time on the train… but my body wasn’t having it.

So, really, the lesson here is to sleep well. I intend to do that. I can’t regulate my mood unless I get a good night’s sleep.
