Currently wondering whether there's something wrong with my wristband or with me. I've just noticed it recorded I took a nap exactly while actively talking to my boss.

Maybe it's trying to tell you something....
Yep, everything and everyone tells me that...
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.
CW why Burn has been played in the last 200 concerts with very few exceptions (they even played it in four of the five Sydney Disintegration nights) while Like Cokatoos has been only played twice.
Why can't I realize even the smallest of my plans? Why does my private daily schedule always fail? It's been bothering me for a long time.
This is a really interesting query, lioness… Do you end up forsaking your private schedule for things you feel you must do instead? Responsibilities? Of course your personal plans are important.

Yeah, I guess I feel all the time that I must do something. No matter what kind of responsibility it would be, it's kind of hanging over me constantly. To the extent that I feel guilty doing something which gives me pleasure only or even I feel unable to do anything because all I can do is thinking what I should do. If this makes any sense...

Oh, yeah, I struggle with this, too. It's only been in the last year or so that I've made real headway with it. I keep a running "to do" list on my phone just adding new tasks at the bottom (the top ones never seem to disappear). If I'm not working, cleaning, cooking, or running errands, I'm convinced I should pick something off the list and work on it. It's what we in the US call the Protestant work ethic. I don't believe that sh!t, so why is it so hard to shake?
I'm going to get all adulty here and hope not to come off as lecturing. I've recently learned how not to GAF (give a f^ck) as much anymore, and boy does it feel great. I can sit on my ass now for the first time in almost 50 years and drool and play solitaire on my phone for an hour and know that if other people need to eat or there are things on my list, either it can wait, or someone else can take care of it. It feels amazing.
I don't know how old you are and I'm going to say a very dirty word now (men, cover your ears, or not), but if you haven't been through menopause yet, that may help. It's been a great adjustment in my becoming more concerned with my own freakin' happiness.
Just know you are not alone. There is hope in becoming more lazy.

I have such lists in my phone, on my computer and even on post-its...
So I will be praying for menopause to come soon
And I think I can't be more lazy than I already am

My response was a bit flippant in that I implied it was so simple to overcome. It was a many years-long process.
We only get a limited time in this consciousness on this planet. For many years I thought I would get a biscuit/cookie or appreciation from others for always doing so much. I finally realized you don't. There are no brownie points for trying to be superwoman. You just wear yourself out and become resentful.
We have to each be our own best friend and caretaker. This means putting your own well being at the top of the list. You can't help anyone else if you aren't keeping yourself healthy and satisfied.
It certainly doesn't sound like you are lazy and I shouldn't imply that self care is laziness (unless that's how you care for yourself, which it may be!). OK, I've said MORE than enough. Please treat yourself well and with grace, lioness.

I Have the Wish, WMS, the book with the old man from kaa and there are some in there but was there ever a kmkmkm, top etc book? I'm thinking no. Can't even get sheet music. Tabs yes but this is for piano. I can figure out chords and melody but meh

I can't vouch for it, but this site looks like it could be worth a browse.
