thought for the day
|
In time tiredness accumulates. This causes you to become cranky, you lose efficiency at work, and your body just isn't feeling well.
I have a bad habit of sleeping an hour too little during the weeks and then on Friday evening after dinner I just conk out on the couch and sleep like the dead for two hours.(Happily it does not affect my night's sleep, but sure proves I need to pay attention to my time in front of TV or my study books.)
The best thing is to teach yourself to a steady sleep rhythm if at all possible. Go to bed at the same time every day and wake up the same time every morning. Exercise and avoid heavy meals, alcohol, caffeine drinks and social media in the evenings before your bedtime.

QUOTE FROM the seven shabtis 1 / The house of the morning sun
|
Kaylee bent over the box. "Don't breathe on it! Moisture is bad for ancient objects…" Mr. Wherrett said. Kaylee put her hand over her mouth and nose, so it directed her breathing away from the box, and had a good look at the shabtis painted on the box. They were all different, just as Luke had said. Each one had a scarab painted on its chest and in the middle of each was a tiny painted symbol. Just as she was trying to figure out what the symbols were, Dan opened the lid of the box, almost hitting Kaylee on the nose with it. "Careful!" Mr. Wherrett snapped. Inside were seven small, empty compartments. At the bottom of each were symbols – they looked a lot like the ones painted on the shabtis on the cover. "This box contained seven shabtis once. I want you to find those shabtis for me," Mr. Wherrett said. "Whatever for? Are these the reason you’re holding our family as prisoners, as you put it?" Luke asked. "All you need to know is that if you don't find them, something very unpleasant is going to happen to your families," Mr. Wherrett said. "But… Why should we, of all people, be able to find them? They could be anywhere!" Kaylee said. "No, they are not just anywhere. I know they are somewhere here in the village or near it. They were in the hands of a secret society, before one of my ancestors found them and brought them to safety in the castle. Somehow, the society managed to steal them back, leaving only the box. They belong to me as the heir of this castle. And you’re the ones who will get them back for me." - Leena Maria: The Seven Shabtis 1 / The House of the Morning Sun / Chapter 2: The Task |

I sell my books directly too - the ebooks are cheap to buy and the big e-stores don't share much to the author. So I have downloaded my ebooks to Payhip - they don't take commission and I get more to pay for my editor, proofreader and cover designer. All of whom are one-woman businesses themselves. (You get the ebook in your preferred e-reader format.) |
If you prefer to write a short happy note each day, I have created planners for this effect. You can write your daily happiness in the squares of the weekly spread - and plan future happiness using the monthly pages. There are even happy (repositionable) stickers included in the planner.
