midnight

I wish I lived in an environment where I were more encouraged to get a good night's sleep.

I think about it, and we as a people are way more pressured to stay up late, get things done, deadlines deadlines!! rather than to take it easy, enjoy the ride, and sleep when you need to.

I know my version of sleep is biased - some people only need 4 hours, and they're fine. I'm not one.

I need to be my own boss, start some kind of home business - where the day starts when I wake up, not necessarily that I wake up when the day starts. Is there a way to integrate that with teaching homeschoolers? I suppose I could be some kind of online teacher through email or videos or something.

The amount of time I need daily for things I should do, things I want to do, and things that will keep me sane adds up to way more than 24 hours. Which one gets cut?

I think the really important thing there is keeping yorself sane (and I think happy is a big part of sane.) To do that, you have to do things you want to do, and things you should do. I think it's good to examine those things that you "should" do. Who says you should do them? Do you believe that? Do they help you in any way? Then examine the things you want to do in a similar light... Will they really make you happy? Find the things that you actually have to do to be happy, and if you still actually have time for other stuff, then you can start on things that you "should" do or want to do.

Remember, the expectations of others can only control you as much as you care.
