I’ve recently noticed a particular nasty habit of mine popping up from time to time. I often find myself distracted by irrelevant tasks just to try and escape the inevitable (which is doing my homework for example). As much as i hate to admit it, it’s mostly the fault of my phone. Watching pointless videos, reading articles or checking social media. It’s made me realise how much of a difference a solid work schedule can make. It’s much easier for me to put away my phone and focus on chores when i have a predefined plan. I think that all people who face this problem should give this method a try, but with a small tweak. In my opinion we should design our schedules at the start of the week. Then we can create a much more detailed and personalized one, instead of something more superficial. I also think that just by seeing that tick next to an activity we get an extra dose of satisfaction and accomplishement. Even the smaller ones like watering plants or dusting a shelf can give us that sense of progress. When following such a plan i occasionally find myself putting in extra effort and finishing some tasks a day in advance. I hope that in the future i’ll part ways with this nasty habit once and for all.
Thank you for your feedback!
