Productivity

1. I want to do things, but I run out of motivation

It’s time to tackle this head-on. I’ve mentioned some of this before, I’ve talked about it on stream, I’ve told people individually. Now it’s time to write it down.

Imagine that it’s Monday. It’s been a long day, you worked, ran errands, whatever. Now you could sit down and work on whatever thing you want to do or learn, but you’re tired. Yesterday you did it, and it was a great time. But yesterday you had the magic sauce. Yesterday, for some reason, you had motivation. Tonight, you don’t have that. It’s probably ok if you just play some video games, drink a beer or two, watch TV, take the night off. You can work on that thing again when you feel like it.

1. Go-Go Gadget

The world demands a certain amount of organization. When you can’t juggle all your commitments, people notice. It’s me. I’m people. Broken promises are one of my pet peeves, when someone says they will follow up on something and never does, I lose a degree of respect for that person. Thus, in my pursuit of not being a hypocritical douche canoe, I work really hard on trying to NOT be that guy.
