Yesterday I went to bed late watching movies against my optimistic belief I could just go straight to bed from work and wake up by 6am.
A winding down buffer of at least an hour and a half is always needed —preferably not involving screens and involving more pages. I wonder what other areas of my daily routine I fall into the over-confidence trap, the belief I can do everything. It certainly pushes me to try out things with impossible standards as a baseline. That outlook is certainly beneficial and detrimental. For one, it makes me late to appointments and commitments, because I believe I can extract the value of every minute to do more and assume the best conditions of the world to make me get to a place. I suppose one must compliment optimism with preparedness. Aim for the stars so you can reach the treetops.
