There is no time.

I seem to have no time at all. I grab an hour here or there but when I do I'm so damn tired that I just want to sit and watch telly. I'm not physically tired because I can still do physical work. It's all in my mind - which doesn't make things any less debilitating.

I suspect I have had two main contributors to this: firstly a company I worked for went under (or very nearly). It was suddenly very stressful and I was down to working 3days a week and pay was generally coming late or not at all. It wasn't as if I was strapped for cash, but nevertheless it was stressful. I then moved jobs twice - performing very badly in both of them. I think I'm now doing ok at work - I'm working for myself and I'm generally quite happy with my performance. The second contributor could have been that I gave up Tai Chi around the same time. I effectively gave up all exercise. All very unhealthy. I'm back now and a little happier.

Back to that time problem; I want to do more Tai Chi, I want to finish of a couple of computer projects I started, I want to do more work for my new business, but the time is not there. Perhaps that's the problem: the time is there, I just lack the energy to use it.

So, I should do something about it. I think my first aim should be getting physically fitter. More Tai Chi will be my aim. I just have to comvince my wife that it's not some kind of freaky cult.

I thought of a third contributor: caffeine abuse. That is already sorted out.
