@erinbee It's been wonderful so far, thank you so much for asking!

It started off a little dull- I just zoned out to videogames for a few hours. Then I realized I wasn't being very balanced as far as 'self care' goes, so now I'm using timers to alternate between the game, stretch/yoga breaks, and reading/journalling. It's much more fulfilling this way.

How has your night been?

@erinbee Timers are awesome, fyi. We use them a lot with kiddos, especially when priming them to go from a preferred activity to a less-preferred one. And I discovered they work really well for me, for the same reasons! Who'da guessed. :P

@erinbee Yes!! Pomodoro is great. I'm using a modified version of that tonight. I'm doing 15 min of activity (game/reading and journalling) then taking short yoga-video breaks between each (the Yoga with Adriene videos are great because she has a lot of 5-10 min sequences that make for perfect stretch breaks).
