Saturday; for all intensive purposes I've survived until for the weekend. Assuming that I have nothing planned for the day, the day is basically equated to a day of goofing off. I nearly spent the entire day simulating new Starcraft 2 battle strategies and have really thrown off some players today. I did end up losing a bunch if games, meaning that the strategy needs some fine tuning. By the time I've realized this it is nearly evening and i have an evening dinner appointment with a friend. The question is, should I have spent this time doing something more productive? The answer is most likely a resounding "yes".
So I need to cut down on the amount of time gone to non productive actives, actually, I mean time that I don't regret wasting.
There have been times where I have been exceptionally productive working on a variety of projects. I really don't know why, but it generally was me wanting to do something. Motivation is a strange that way, sometimes it is there and others it just isn't. What are the origins of motivation, really? I've probably mused about this before but it one of those things that I "get", when I get it.
In order to reduce the number of motivational dry spells, I am going to instigate a system to keep a small lots of tasks that must be completed each day, barring extraordinary circumstances. The tasks don't necessarily have to be big, just a series of small things to do as I have a terrible memory for keeping track of things I "want" to do in addition to the things that I "need" to do, because things that "need" to be done usually have some kind of pressing deadline which makes scheduling easier.
Actually thinking about it, I need to find a way to make it a habit to hold myself accountable to getting something done, which makes it a little too easy for me to let things slide. I think I need some friendly competition to do things. Or even some friends to bet against, like say 'html'>Saturday; for all intensive purposes I've survived until for the weekend.
