Interval Training

My wife either found out about or created this amazing idea and I wanted to share it with you. She sets a timer for 15 minutes and then sets about doing something fun like reading or playing a game or something. When the 15 minutes are up, she resets the timer for another 15 minutes, then goes about doing something productive, like cleaning the bathroom or doing laundry. She continues like this until everything is done or until it's time for bed or whatever. We did this the other night and it was really cool. Normally I'm one to just get into my work and just plug away at it until it's finished, but it can be tough to get into it. Knowing that it's only 15 minutes at a stretch makes it a lot easier to get started when you really don't feel like doing anything. Sometimes I'll certainly still just work on things until they're done, but for those nights when you just don't feel like doing much, this is a great way to be at least halfway productive.

Not too much else to report, unfortunately. I did do some of this:

What's that? A really gross old cantaloupe that's been sitting in the back of the fridge for a few weeks and has gotten all lumpy and weird?

Taste cold steel you filthy piece of fruit!

You can see where you're going, can't you? That's right! Time to spend a few weeks in the orb of eternal darkness so you can think about what you've done.

And you won't be alone, either! You'll have plenty of new friends in there. Broken, shameful friends who are just rotting in this pit of despair.

Bwa-ha-ha! You will know torment like you've never experienced before. Do you see those pain-spikes jutting from all the walls? Escape is clearly impossible. Just resign yourself to your fate and stop that piteous mewling.

That's it for now. Thanks for reading!
