Day 21: Nothing. Nada. Absolutely zilch!

Hand making zero sign
Made the mistake of going to my office today, and that killed every ounce of productivity I had in my body. Answered emails, chatted with people, cleaned email, etc. etc.

Part of this is this (forcing myself to write as I want to go to sleep right now).

  1. When I feel like I accomplished something, it's VERY hard for me to transition to another task right after.
  2. When I do accomplish something, I tend to "relax", but then it's very difficult for me to get out of that mode.
  3. When I don't feel pressure, I relax.
  4. When I feel a lot of pressure, I "shut down", and not want to do anything.
  5. When I stay up past midnight the night before, especially if it's due to non-productive reasons, I have a VERY difficult time getting to work.
  6. If I have something that I need to do in the morning (laundry), then I feel like the whole day is ruined.
  7. I simply cannot sustain days upon days of productivity, especially if my routine is broken somehow by having to run errands or having to deal with... well... anything.

I need to recognize these four triggers, and plan my days accordingly. Otherwise, not gonna get anywhere!

I also need to find the balance between the various triggers, and plan my days accordingly.
