Yesterday’s Goals:
- Finalize and customize the new theme of this blog - DONE!
- Find the missing wires and fittings of the broken DSL modem that has to be returned to Qwest, so I can give the box to the UPS guy - DONE!
- Sort through my (too many) websites and domains, prioritize, and decide which ones to sell-off to reduce my online clutter, so to speak - partly DONE
I’m very happy, I achieved 2 out of 3 goals completely, and one partly. So, I’ll carry over #3 as one of today’s goals.
I think the system of self-reward is important in dealing with P (that’s short for Procrastination) and others seem to have achieved lots of success with it. So I rewarded myself for my (partial) success with a meal at Subway. Yum!
I’ve also been looking at how technology can help one overcome P and these two solutions seem intriguing:
- MeeTimer, a free Firefox extension that keeps track of your online time, what websites used, etc. I have installed it and am still trying to get to grips with its workings. I will be reporting back on this one.
- The MotivAider, an electronic device - a bit like a pager - that apparently prompts you to remember through vibrations. I’ll be looking into this and will let you know what I think. I might even buy one and give it a try.
Well, that’s all for today folks. I’m setting the following three simple goals for today:
- Clean the fish bowl;
- Get started with the new procrastination forum I’m starting;
- Brought forward from yesterday: Sort through my (too many) websites and domains, prioritize, and sell-off many to reduce my online clutter.
I also have some longer term things I want to achieve:
- Read a book a week - jeez, I bought The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
probably a month ago (it is supposed to have good tips how to simplify and manage your life) and have not even touched it yet!
- Make more regular posts on this, and my other blog.
