Great sleep. Very depleted today. Really trying to push writing. It's interesting that when I do any task that stretches my skill, my attention almost uniformly gives out at 13 minutes. It's very consistent. I'm trying to stretch out meditation just by 5 minutes. I got an email from the Finder's Course stating that it was the last course that was going to be personally handled by Dr. Jeffery Martin - he's handing it over to his senior Phd student. I really want to do the course, but at 2 hours of meditation at the minimum, I just don't think it's feasible at my volume, especially with trying to push writing. I have however been trying to get my father to do it, since he regularly meditates at least an hour a day and is newly retired.
