<p>Im deep in a funk this morning, and am having a hard time yanking myself out of it.<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn1" id="fnref1">[1]</a></sup> So Ive decided to overcompensate by writing a bit about something that actually is going well: getting my priorities a bit straightened out and getting back to work on my <a href="http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/mcpress/plannedobsolescence">revisions</a>.</p>
<p>A few months back, I switched over from using my tried-and-true clock radio on my bedside to using my iPhone as my alarm clock, plugged into a <a href="http://us.kensington.com/html/17448.html">nightstand charging dock</a>. It worked fabulously, but over the last few months, Id gotten into a Very Bad Habit: when I woke up, before even turning on the lamp, Id reach over and grab the iPhone and check my email, catch up on Twitter, etc.</p>
<p>I had the sense I was being efficient — hey look, Im just now brushing my teeth and I already know whats going on in the world — but what I was in fact doing was derailing the work train of thought, undoing any chance that Id be able to do the thing that <a href="/new-leaf/">Ive known for years</a> works best for me: taking the first half-hour of the morning, before I do anything else, to write. If I let the day come crashing in, its all but impossible for me to reclaim it, to carve the necessary headspace back out in order find clarity on the project.</p>
<p>So Sunday, after I got home from the <a href="http://www.nitle.org/events/event.php?id=49">NITLE Summit</a>, I unplugged the charging dock and moved the old-school clock radio back to my bedside. The iPhone stays on my desk overnight, and I quit all of the networking applications on my computer before I go to bed. And when I get up, after brushing my teeth, feeding the cats, and making coffee, I crank up <a href="http://getconcentrating.com/">Concentrate</a>. Ive created a project that opens the document Im working in, opens the CommentPress version of the book in a browser window, and blocks all of my networking sites — email, Twitter, whathaveyou — for 30 minutes.</p>
<p>And for the last two days, Ive spent that 30 minutes getting myself back into the project. Slowly and somewhat painfully, yes, but its working.</p>
<p>That, I need to remember.</p>
