It's been a hard four days. I'm supposed to be avoiding any distractions like reading, watching TV, or playing video games during my downtime. I've even cut out the radio at home and in the car, as well as listening to audio books which is one of my favorite things to do when I have to do chores around the house. And I'm here to let you know that I've been cheating. I've watched two TV shows (one episode of Dexter and one episode of The Walking Dead), I've played video games with my son (about 3 games of FIFA soccer), and I allowed myself to listen to an audio book for 30 minutes while I vacuumed yesterday, just because I really don't like vacuuming and I thought I deserved a break. I didn't really deserve a break, I just convinced myself I needed one because, when it gets right down to it, I'm weak. Ouch.
Despite my moments of weakness, I have enjoyed the lack of distractions and have found it conducive to more creative thought. I think I'll probably do this again soon, just not next week because I really miss reading and watching TV and listening to audio books. I really, really miss them. Three more days to go. Double ouch.
