I’ve recently been slacking in my online work, and can’t seem to stay motivated. But I think I may have the answer. I’ve got another blog on healthy eating, and as well as offering tips and recipes I had the idea of using it as a food diary, so that I have to account for everything I eat every day.
And it’s working!
I’ve only been on it three days, and so far I’ve stuck to this healthy food. I could lie, but that would defeat the object, and since I’ve been doing it, I’ve already noticed that I no longer have food cravings, and low blood sugar, so I’d be stupid to give it up.
Well the amount of work and what type of work I’m doing is not getting documented, so if it works for food, it should work for work!
What I need is a timetable of regular tasks. I made one up, but it had too much stuff on it. I was expecting too much of myself, and nothing got done.
I tried to do six hours Internet Marketing a day, as well as reading, filing, diary, blogging, learning Dreamweaver. It was simply impossible to do everything. All of the books were self help books too, so they were workbooks that required a lot more concentration than a fiction book.
My brain’s ok doing stuff it’s used to but as all learning involves the cerebellum, and mine is under-developed, I struggle a lot with learning new stuff.
As my shrink says, that much concentration for someone like me who cannot focus, is like trying to do a 10 mile run when you’re not fit enough to run round the block. She says the brain is similar; it can be trained to focus, but you have to build it up gradually.
So now I’ll create a more realistic timetable, and that involves only two hours Internet Marketing a day. It’ll be a lot more computer time altogether, but just two hours IM to begin with.
