So, lately I had some periods where I had more pressure at work.
When that happens I try to focus more, avoid distractions and not to think of anything not work related. I avoid thinking of games, music, housework, friends... and of course, I avoid thinking of topics for blog posts.
And what is the result? 100% concentration rate and all the work done? No, of course not. The result is that at the end of the day I am more tired, stressed and even did not concentrate that much. I will forget things I had to do, let the week pass without making plans for the weekend and without talking to friends or family. And of course, a month will pass and I will not have anything real for the blog, the projected series about music untouched.
Then? What I would have done? Well, a procrastinator will always find ways to procrastinate. I will not stop to think of organizing my tasks, so I do not lose time, which will make me jump from to task, without making real progress, losing the perspective, and finally getting frustrated and lose time in anything.
It is important to focus, and having deadlines makes you get organized and not lose track of time. But if you get stressed you will end up burned. It is not that bad letting you think of other things. Then, maybe you will be writing a report or something and suddenly your brain will remind you that you are almost out of gas, and then, you can go to the station when you are done for the day. Otherwise, you will find out by the morning, when there is not enough time to go and that will be worse.
However, here we go again, no content, the time is gone, the dream is over. Again, no post, not more work done, just hours passing by, without being really productive in any way. Good intentions melted in a few hours.
But there is always next time. Next time is always be the solution to all evil.
Disappointing. Expected, but disappointing.
