I am one of those people who finds it hard to truly relax. Even when I'm sitting down or resting, my mind is constantly ticking off what I should be doing instead. For example, during a movie, I'll be calculating what I need to do when it's over to make up for the time I spent in front of the screen. When I sleep in, I'm always in a rush to catch up on the e-mails that have to be sent before noon in order to get the responses I need by day's end. On weekends I frantically plan what the coming week should look like, complete with deadlines and "now or never" launching points. It's tedious and exhausting, but I honestly don't think I'll ever be any different.
That is why today has been fabulous. I made a concerted effort to get things in order enough so I could set aside one solid day to do absolutely nothing, and March 5 is that day. I cheated a little and sent an e-mail this morning, but otherwise I have not done any writing or, most importantly, worried about not doing any writing (besides obviously this blog). I won't think about my taxes, I won't think about doing laundry, I won't think about cleaning the bathroom, I won't think about paying bills... I am leaving it all for tomorrow, for the weekend, for later.
Right now I'm going to sit my butt on the couch -- I never sit on the couch -- and watch a movie or two, finish reading my book, and just veg out. AND I WILL NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT.
Wish me luck... I might need it.

Your day sounds awesome, lol! I on the other hand, wanted to not be lazy today... I accomplished several things, so now I feel like I have earned the right to be lazy for the rest of the evening :)
Hey, that works too! It's all about balancing hard work and laziness...
