Waking & Blogging

 What am I doing today?
  Why is it that when I come out of deep sleep I can remain semi-conscious and list the things I need to tend to, prioritise them, and have a clear sense of what I've got to do during the day, but that once I get out of bed my mind reverts to an incoherent state, and I struggle to remember the decisions I made?

 Is it the cumulative effect of trivial distractions: the need to wake up properly, to wash the sleep and ache from my eyes, make coffee, stumble around with cold feet and a backache, try to read what's on the computer, or the whiteboard, or even a list on a piece of paper, make the bed in order to have a place to sort the papers from yesterday, forget the coffeepot on the flame so that the rubber ring inside melts and makes such a stink that I suddenly remember it - too late?

 Is it merely the visual assault of clutter and needing to navigate my way past a desk, stacks of clothes here and bags there, around a corner and over a threshold?

 Is it that just being in the world is too much for my mind to handle and it needs a break already? Or at least more time to adjust? Is that why waking and blogging seem to go hand in hand? Sitting in one place, focused less on the world around me and more on the transfer of what's in mind to what's on screen?



  When is someone going to invent a thing that takes my half-conscious thoughts and transfers them to my Outlook Task list (why is Outlook so bad at some things, yet noone has come up with an alternative?), complete with timed reminders, so that once I get out of bed, I don't have to do any thinking for a while, but can just go through various mechanistic tasks?

 While I'm at it, there are any number of inventions needed here, so when are the kind people over at the universal source of all inventions going to make them available? Since I'm on the topic of inventions, I need this blog to do things ... list things, organise things, animate things, sing and dance things.
