Well, lets look at the targets:

1. Be up everyday by 8am – Fail Got up at 9, which is better anyway
2. Go for a walk every day – Pass
3. Regain my work ethic and concentration by sitting at my desk and working for at least half an hour before a break – Fail, still in the habit of 6 lines and stare at the screen for 45 minutes
4. Take a decent photograph every day next week (Mon -> Sun) -Fail, got a picture but not very good, see below.

We shall try this again today, which has certainly started better anyway!

Over the past couple of months I’ve found myself becoming sluggish, and very slow at completing various tasks. This all reached a peak when I found myself unable to sleep a lot of the time so just over a week ago I went to the doctors. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with depression and put on some anti-depressents to try and alleviate things a bit.

The problem I have now is that I have lost my work ethic because of the past few months of lethargicness. I’ve now also found it relativley difficult to actually get out of bed in the mornings. In order to try and rectify this I am giving myself a couple of challenges.

1. Be up everyday by 8am
2. Go for a walk every day
3. Regain my work ethic and concentration by sitting at my desk and working for at least half an hour before a break
4. Take a decent photograph every day next week (Mon -> Sun)

As far as I’m concerned, 1 and 3 will be the most difficult, however they’re the most important in that list as it stands. Each day I’ll try and post a progress report, and my photo of the day.
