The time-crunch dilemma

I had to admit that for the first time since we began the process I wasn't able to get to the assigned work between sessions. While I'm not the kind of person to simply let things slide, sometimes the demands of life (work projects, community commitments, children's activities and just the need to take a deep BREATH!) prevent you from getting to everything. There are only so many hours in the week, right?
This week highlighted the importance of habits. The need to translate theory into action through habit-forming has been been a consistent topic throughout much of the reading and subsequent discussions with Dan. A habit is a behavior repeated to the point that you demonstrate competence without much conscious thought. I recognized this week that I haven't managed to turn some of the things we've been working on into habits yet. As I get into my daily grind and the grind of deadlines seem to compress hours available in the day, practicing what I've learned here is still an extra time commitment. I've bought into the value of what I'm learning but I certainly don't have a unconscious competence.
Thankfully the new material is at an end (!) and the next few weeks are going to provide an opportunity to ingrain some of these lessons into habits. Is it bad that I want to do more things unconsciously? I wonder how long it will be before I can simply sleep all day and still get everything done...
