Just One Thing: No Tea

"Just One Thing" seems mainly about "doing".

There is a Gurdjieff saying that likely doesn't mean what it seems to, or means more than it seems to, but here it is anyways:

To Do 1

The highest that a man can attain is to be able to do.

To Do 2

But this day's task is about a more Zen-like "not-doing".

Not Do 1

And that is not drinking tea after 6 pm, in the hope that this will help me go to sleep earlier and not keep me up (given that I have medicines that already cause insomnia).

I find it hard to believe in this because I don't think it makes that big a difference, but here goes.

Of course, Not-Doing is a kind of Doing, especially attempted by Westerners

Not Do 2

No worries, I didn't attempt this again.
