Sleeping? ???
Looking for my cell phone, repeatedly. 1.5 hours
Looking for my glasses. .5
Looking for something else that I just had in my hand. .75 hours

Thanks Doug! I have not read your tips for a long while and I don’t know why. Something told me to open this email and I am happy that I did. My next step is to go back and reread your book, which was very helpful the first time around over three maybe four or five years ago, and then I fell off the horse. Time for me to get back on. Cheers, Benjamin

bj – welcome back! my first principle of human behavior is – if we struggle and struggle with a problem, and finally find a solution, the next thing we do is to stop using the solution. does that fit? I do it all the time.
glad the book is helpful to you
