Starting the Day Over

I have to revise my thesis (actually, rewrite a whole section of my thesis) and comment on a batch of my students' first drafts, but I can't make myself care about any of it and these are dangerous things to do apathetically. So here's the plan: I'll read myself to sleep with a little Jacques Lacan and nap for an hour at most. When I wake up, I'll do at least a rough revision of my thesis (I can polish it tomorrow). After I finish that, I'll treat myself to a walk with the neighbor's dog. Then I'll read papers.

I hope this works.
