unedited for 100 days. Day 9

It's a curse. I am too good at being efficient and multi-tasking. I catch myself having these secret contests with myself all day long. If I put something in the microwave for 90 seconds, I challenge myself to change the laundry, empty the trash and pee before the timer goes off. Another example is finding random things to put away or pick up off the floor while I brush my teeth. Any other Sonicare users out there? You know those two minutes feel way too long to stand there doing nothing. I also have become very skillful with my nightly routine, getting everything ready for the next day- methodically filling the Berkey, prepping the coffee machine, wiping the counters and starting the dishwasher in the most efficient way. To be specific, I position the faucet on the edge of the Berkey ever so precisely that it will stay there on it's own, so that I can do as much of those other things before it starts over flowing. Like a said, it's a curse and slightly insane. My husband calls it 'Monica mode', like from Friends. Lately, I've been challenging myself to slow down and be present with one task at a time. Tonight, I stood still for the full two minutes, brushing all sections of my teeth (bored out of my mind) but noticeably more relaxed physically and mentally. Yay for small victories!
