I like to maximize my time!

Today I was driving and the people in front of me were going so slow that I decided to floss my teeth. I thought about it later and realized that I don’t know how to relax. I like to maximize every second of the day into something useful. If I’m watching TV, I’m usually working out too. The other day while I was blowing my hair dry, I decided to clean my toilet. I was leaning over with the toilet brush in one hand and the hair dryer in the other and my toothbrush fell right out of my mouth into the toilet. The more I think about this, the more I worry that I might be a little too high strung. I do get a lot done though. I’m going to experiment this week with relaxing. I’m going to try to sit down for a few minutes and watch TV like a bum. I’m going to collect data from the time spent and keep it in a journal. ie: resting heart-rate, how many times “gee…I really should be doing something useful” pops into my head, the number of commercials that wouldn’t get their point across to the hearing impaired vs. the ones that are useless to the visually impaired…the number of times the Nivea commercials come on and remind me that I’m single…wait a minute…I don’t think this is working! Oh well…I suppose I’ll just have to work on it another time – like while I’m writing a dissertation on the effects of the Tsetse fly on the vegetation of the Sahara and Kalahari deserts of Africa…and jumping on my trampoline…
