the time before bed

In an effort to create more ritual/structure in my day I recently created a play list called "before bed". It's 59.9 minutes long. By the time it ends I need to be (you guessed it!) in bed. This is what happens after I press play:

-check my e-mail, delete a few things, archive a few others.
-facebook
-make lunch for tomorrow (if I'm on top of things)
-take out contacts, floss, brush teeth, wash face, moisturize (always in that order)
-scan New York Times headlines online
-check "sites that I frequent" and "blogs that I read" (see column to the right)
-look at to-do list, ask "did I do any of these things today?"
-think of something I did do, add it to the list, then check it off
-facebook
-stare at the wall
-plan course of action for the morning-- a) go to the gym b) do more reading for school or c)take it easy before class
-archive a few more e-mails
-unsubscribe from a newsletter
-tidy up the room
-set the alarm clock
-turn out the lights
