The last three days I woke up for the sunrise, took note, and proceeded to go back to sleep. Sleeping until 7 or 8 o'clock, not a huge deviation from the program, but a deviation none the less rationalized by the letter of the law. But I am cheating myself, my own objective. The whole point of the sunrise is not to check it off like a task, but to experience the morning. The returns to slumber were a direct result of experiencing the night instead.
No more loopholes; you can't surf in loopholes.

A Plan of Action, Focus, and Accountability
MISSION OF MORNING
Everyday, I have been feeling behind, like the clock hands are spinning in double time. Surfing less, reading less, taking my future wife out less, working on the things that fuel my soul less. In an attempt to take more time to talk with my brain, I am embarking upon:
77 sunrises in 77 days.
That is the mission. I initially spawned and launched this objective back in the fall of 2008, 77 days before my GRE exam, in an effort of self-discipline and focus. In a matter of weeks the mornings started slipping as I traded sunrises for more sleep, and the blog withered away.
I return now to attempt another 77 sunrises. There is not a looming test or deadline in 77 days this time; the only significance of the next 77 sunrises is what I can instill within them for myself and my family.
