Tea Overdose

Back home today, and I'm determined to make some significant headway with respect to the never ending chore I've set for myself.

After some advice from Phil though I decide to take a slightly different approach today, and instead of sitting for 8 hours constantly without a break, and consequently slowing to a near snails pace by about hour 2 of working, I'm taking a regular 15 minute time out every time I reach a predetermined goal.

Which is great, my eyes don't hurt and no sign of a flaky finger either. The only problem is that as a reward for each goal I meet I decide to make a cup of tea - the result of which is that I've had about 10 large mugs of tea today, and I'm all tea'd out to say the least.

So whilst there is method in the madness, I think I either need to get a different reward each time I hit a goal, or set the goal posts slightly further apart to reduce the risk of drowning my kidneys on a near hourly basis with the great british cure all remedy.

When Phil gets home I'm banned from doing any more work for the evening (apparently everybody needs a break, who knew!?) and to be honest I'm glad the decision has been taken out of my hands... because otherwise I would have continued on until I'd done everything (and by that point I know the work I'd have been doing would be sloppy because I was tired).
