90 Days of ILP

...Are there enough? Would not a cornerstone of ILP be to "find" additional hours in which to practice per deim? Should we not invest some energy in "temporal extension" technology? One of things I take seriously about ILP is the "integration" aspect, that is, will this integrate with the way I live my life? Will it fall like sand into the free spaces and pockets of time I've allowed myself between the Undeniable Things I can't avoid? And how many of those things are deniable?

What develops is a consciousness of where one is constantly spending one's time. If you're spending more time waiting for the bus than writing poetry, you might be in trouble. If there's an inconsistency in the way you, say, lift weights, but an unrelenting quality to the way you get in fights with your lover every day, then guess what? It's time to put your stopwatch microscope onto that corner of your life.

As a partial solution to my own "time leak" problem, I'm going to start keeping a "time journal" by my side at all times, where I may record the beginning and ending times of each thing I do, and hopefully discern where all of my free practice space goes each day (because, let's face it, I wait for buses 500% more of the time than I sit and look at my breathes).

If any of you have tried a similar means of organizing time (and yes, I've read Getting Things Done... well, most of it), please drop me a line and share it: I promise I'll take a moment to read.
