Trying something. Put daily events on my work calendar to remind me to time-restrict certain activities. Will update them as needed.

For now,

- No coffee after noon (did this today, trying to cut way back on coffee, which I have pretty much been drinking around the clock)

- No cigarettes until after noon. (Except on when I wake up).

For those playing the long game, I quit cigarettes a little over a year ago. I was off them for 7 months. It's getting close to quitting time again, but just trying something to see how it goes with this.

All of this is (a new) part of a bigger plan, where in about a month from now, I will be eliminating a lot of things for diet/health reasons, and playing off the various withdrawals against each other. Already started eliminating things, but going further than I have dared before.

I don't know if I will make it as far as ingesting only beef, salt, and water - but I hope to get pretty close to that, at least for a little while.

Day 1. Not great with the cigarettes (had a couple more than I planned for), OK on coffee (drank one shortly after noon that I made before noon.)

Not discouraged, though. I plan to quit smoking after I get a prescription for bupropion filled, which is how I've had the most success in the past. Also I don't plan to quit until after a trip to Montana in a couple weeks. This was just to see how powerful that calendar reminder would be, and I definitely like it.

I also overslept last night for the first time in a long time, after waking up after about 2 hours of sleep, and not getting back to sleep for probably an hour. That also is very rare for me. It may be the change in caffeine load, may be the extra hydration, but could be a lot of things.
