The Barrow

I hate when routines and systems break down, or collapse, into listlessness and inactivity. When I skip the gym due to illness, for example, it seems like every other part of my routine collapses. Suddenly, it's 5 PM on Sunday and I haven't even showered yet. I hate this.

I really need to figure out some way to keep this from happening. Sheer discipline could do it, and I should try this approach first, but I think it may also behoove me to plan more rest and relaxation into my routine. This may alleviate the pressure and keep me from such catastrophic system failure.

Anyway, I need to shower now. That's step one.
