New policy

A few weeks (months?) back I adopted a new policy in regards to how I post here, which, if you peruse the archives, explains the infrequent postings and often just brief bursts and less substantial posts. Pretty much I decided it'd be best for my sleep if I didn't blog as the last thing I did before bed. A couple of reasons for that, the first one is mostly because when I write right before bed, it's as if I feel compelled to write, as opposed to writing when the inspiration hit. Secondly, the time it takes to write a post varies ... sometimes it's a brief 5-10 mintue affair, at other times it can drag onto over an hour, and when I pretty much spend all my time until 2am or 3am as it is, and THEN blog, I end up going to bed at an ungodly hour.

As such, for many nights now, I've hit bed time, and just gone straight to bed, a lil' concerned that I didn't blog that day, but otherwise feeling fully refreshed the next morning. The downside to this new behaviour is a lack of long, ShananPhilosophy type posts, and whether you think that's a good thing or not, they generated the most comments, which I naturally enjoy responding to.

Am I just better at thinking things through right before bed? Or is it when I did it right before bed, that was my 'alloted' time, which forced me to think it through and articulate it?

Anyway, for the next four weeks I'm on winter break, so you'll (hopefully) be hearing a lot from me :D
