Update to changes post

Did the changes work? Well, yes and no.

• I turned in Project B, going short on sleep and forgetting to eat lunch. (I never forget to eat lunch.) I submitted it at 2 p.m. and checked my mail to discover a message from noon saying "never mind about submitting it today; take a few months if you want to. We'll put this in the next issue if it's accepted rather than this one." Am I irrationally angry with the journal? Sort of, even though it's absolutely not their fault. Am I angry at myself for not getting it done in time? Absolutely. 
• Stopping the advice columns? Yes.
• Staying off FB? Mostly yes. 
• Keeping Christine Tully's article on my browser for inspiration? Yes.
• I revisited Project A with the following results:
• Pages 1-3: "Hey, not bad at all. Nobody's said this, and it sounds interesting."
• Pages 4-12: "Stop hiding the main ideas. Move a few sentences around and it's okay, pretty much."
• Pages 13+: "The horror. The horror."
•  Make TV a special rather than regular occasion--done. 
• Answering email in batches & copying and pasting previous emails as answers to repeated questions when the already-sent answer has been ignored: working well.
• Not reading emails on Saturday:
• Pretty much working, although if I mistakenly leave Outlook open and see them come in, I'm irritated. 
• I want to put on an autoreply that goes like this: "It's Saturday. Is this an emergency? Is someone bleeding? If so, call 911. If not, it can wait until Monday." 

Now back to the horror part of Project A.
