Building Plan

03/07/15

Today's going to need to be a little light on planned activities, I'm afraid. I ended up waking up and wasting my time browsing the Internet instead of starting a pomodoro right away. I really need to make the first thing I do in the morning be starting my plan for the day pomodoro. It really helps hit home how little time I have in the day. It would even convince me to dedicate my entertainment, non-pomodoro time to something more fun than mere Internet browsing.

And this is something I know from experience. I need to return to that experience.

Anyways, only three pomodoros for me today: this plan, blog post writing, and my end-of-day review. Otherwise, it's work pomodoros or cooking or higher-quality entertainment (higher-quality than Internet browsing, anyways).

A better template plan might be of use to me. I have building plan, daily routine, and end-of-day review/routine hard-coded into my template at work, and it's of great value to me.

I really need to figure out how to develop the discipline to start the day off right again. I remember enjoying it so much, so why am I having such difficulty building the habit again? I guess my brain is just resistent to real work vs. laziness.

I guess it's something I need to keep trying at, and I need to keep analyzing to see what I'm doing that is reinforcing poor habits and neglecting the cultivation fo good habits. It may just be as simple as me currently having a habit of surfing the web as soon as I open my laptop beginning the day, and I may need some trigger to stop that habit to start a new habit.

Maybe it's time to have site-blocker installed again. Not permantly, mind you, just until I stop attempting to go to reddit or youtube first thing and instead start my pomodoro and start building my plan for the day each morning.
