It's an inside job...
Journey 6:30 am arrggh
Yesterday was not good - I had one of my most unproductive days in recent history. I attempted working for 10 hours and probably got less than 4 hours actual work done. I did zero chores around the house except for making a quick dinner.
So, what do we do about this? I've been doing really well lately mainly because I've had deadlines and I've been working closely with co-workers. Now the pressure is off and I need to re-learn how to motivate myself. I will not spend today feeling guilty about yesterday but instead I will get right back on track and put in a good day's work today. I have my pomodoro and I'm making my todo list early before exercise.
Off to make todo list, then exercise and have breakfast, then I'll check in again.
Update 7 am: My son is on the way over to pick something up so I'll go ahead and post my todo list and then exercise to a video rather than taking a walk. Here goes:
email & planningexercise - 1 hourCVT Project - work on install - 2 hours 1 hour donetwo meetings - 2 hours - 1 doneProject O - prod plan - 1 hourRA - review and make plan - 15 minutesTM - follow up on meeting notes and survey answers - 30 minutesProject CAV - test cases - 30 minutesProject M - propose dates - 15 minutesMid year report - ugh - just find it and figure out next action - 10 minutesTable - 15 minutesok that's about 11 hours - throw in an hour for meals and breaks, and I should be done with everything by 7 pm and have a couple of hours to relax. OK GO!
update 6 pm - much better than yesterday. I need to make dinner and do some evening chores. If I review my goals sometime during the evening I'll call that one done and maybe I'll even be able to check off everything today . . . much better!
