Alright, now that I have all of this extra time by doing polyphasic sleep, I need to find a way to increase how productive I am. It seems that lately I have slipped into not really doing much of anything all day with my time. I'll spend a lot of time reading forums and articles or playing games but never actually getting anything done. One thing that I know isn't helping, is the fact that I don't really have a clear plan or any objectives for what I would like to accomplish for the day. Also, the fact that I allow myself to get distracted with so many time wasters isn't helping either.

 

I am going to use the rest of the month of Feb as sort of a "30 day" trial. They say it takes 21 days to break a habit, so in order to cut down on my time wasting I am going to completely cut out all games, forums, online articles, etc... from my day. This is actually going to be pretty hard, as I have come very used to going through all of these things each day. Basically, I am going to act as if I do not have the internet...save for posting to my website here.

That leaves me with a clear plan for the day. I really tend to suck at following schedules, and I've tried many many different time management ideas and planners. Really, the thing has works best for me is to just have a clear goal of what I want to get done...and break it down to as many smaller parts as possible, and then just start knocking out each thing.

In broad terms, what I would like to do over the month of Feb is:

• Finish my next game
• Write several articles for this website
• Get fully adapted to polyphasic sleep
• Get into the routine of running each morning

I'll leave out how I break those things into smaller parts, as that tends to change as I get through it.

 

 

I'll be sure to keep updates on this in my daily log.
