just wait and see

Sebastian Marshall loves the idea of time tracking and he has recently been posting about his daily routines in an attempt to be super productive. With the realisation I had yesterday about how unmotivated I am, I decided I need to start planning my days before I go to bed. I guess reading his posts convinced me that they might help my cause. So last night I took the some notes about what I wanted to get done today, it took me  10 minutes and consisted of only 12 dot points; I then went to bed.

The first thing I realised in the morning is that I had stuff to do, a sleep in wasn’t mentally feasible because there was a FULL LIST OF THINGS TO DO. This helped greatly because leaving the warmth of bed sucks.

I did all my normal morning routines but was I  incredible tired. This really made the extra sleep more desirable.. but the first thing on my list was to read for an hour, and although this was accidental, the hour in bed (reading) helped me get over the tiredness feeling.

So far my day feels pretty productive. I think there is much merit to this time tracking stuff, especially if one doesn’t have any external incentives to achieve goals.

I definitely think this is the solution to my motivation problems.
