Based on this comment on reinforcement, I am no longer randomly eating Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Nibs at work, but instead only eating them just after explicitly noticing or investigating or taking steps to change my motivation.
Last night was my fourth night using melatonin. It’s hard to detect whether I’m getting better sleep, but I’m definitely not getting the fake-hangover feeling, and I definitely am either having more vivid, weirder dreams or remembering my dreams more easily.
I was surprised to learn this weekend that I have somewhat of an exhibitionist streak.
I have a strong aversion to getting my bike fixed up so I can ride it. I can tell because I haven’t managed it yet after a couple months of realizing it’s an obviously good idea, and that’s how you measure aversions. :(
Is there some sort of community / bike co-op in your area that, for free, helps people repair their bikes? There’s this cool garage where I’m living that’s open 3 days a week and has a bunch of bike repair tools free to use and used bikes for sale. Maybe you should swing by there sometime just to check it out :D
