It has been a while since I last posted anything about polyphasic sleep or my attempt at increasing productivity. Well, there has been a few things going on but let me just sum it up.

Well, for the polyphasic sleep…I haven’t been doing it lately. I had a few oversleeps and stuff so I recently decided to try and go back to normal sleep and then start over. I think this may have been a mistake…now I feel like I am getting WAY too much sleep and I pretty much feel like crap. I also keep getting really tired ANYWAYS and end up taking another nap but since I was trying to go normal they end up being like 3-5 hours long. This is very bad and I wake up feeling much much worse than before. Today, as of writing this I will definitely go back with polyphasic sleep and STICK with it. I am considering writing an alarm clock application that will play on my computer to help wake me up so I don’t have to keep setting my alarm clock each 4 hours.

Now, for increasing my productivity…I’ve tried a few things, but most recently I believe I have found something which will help me out a lot. Well, for 10 days I kept a detailed log of EVERYTHING that I did every 15-30 minutes. This really gave me insight into where all of my time was being spent. I have set up some things to help keep myself focused now. Here is what I have done and so far it has been working for the last 2 days:

• I will work ATLEAST 8 hours a day (whether on freelance, or on my game)
• I will keep a “To-Do Later” list of all of the blogs, articles, etc… that come up during the day that I feel the need to spend time on. If I still feel I should check it out later, AFTER all of my work is done…then I will get to it.
• I will take forced breaks / lunches during my 8+ hour period of working…just to keep myself at peak performance.

Well, that’s about it really. Sometimes the best solution is the simple one. So far this has kept me in check, we will see in about a week from now how this works out.
