He wrote down the exact time at which he began nearly everything he did.
11:23 a.m., first glance at clock.
12:29 p.m., come to, recognize the need to arise.
12:34 p.m., staring into mirror, trying to coax myself into brushing my teeth.
12:36 p.m., brushing my teeth. etc. etc.
He never looked back over these notes. Still, they leant a certain reality to his actions, he felt. Were anyone to be certain that what they were doing now was going to be written down, was going to be carefully transcribed and taken note of, people would likely act in completely different ways. Or at least they would for a while.
