The next few months are going to be a bit of a challenge and I am determined to stay calm. Whilst I have ideas for monthly beeminder experiments now is not the right time to start too many new things.

So a very simple goal for April is [breathingspace](https://www.beeminder.com/k1rsty/breathingspace) which is a very loose commitment to spend a minute or two just breathing between waking up and looking at a screen. My habit of realising I’m awake and picking up a device in the exact same instant is annoying me, even if sometimes it’s only diving back into the book I fell asleep reading. I think my brain needs a reminder to calm down and start the day slowly.
