#workplan

Today: It is about noon. I've showered, eaten breakfast, and am drinking my coffee. I am itching to rearrange my room and my books and I think I will not be able to focus until I do this. 1/ Take all books off shelf 2/ move shelves, clean 3/ arrange books, use as a way to plan work 4/ immerse in scrivener, actually, integrate writing from media course and susan's seminar. After today I have five full days, and this document needs to be 20-25 pages. After integrating old material and writing new annotations I should have about eight pages.

So spring is here and it has arrived with plenty of rain showers. For the last week, I’ve found myself being unmotivated to complete work assignments. I work for a tech education startup and I’m in charge of creating new curriculum with real deadlines. 

I find myself getting distracted or disinterested in actually sitting down and doing the assignment(s) I’m supposed to be completing. Instead, I’m looking into things that interest me on a personal level.

I’ve had issues with procrastination (in general) in the past but never like this with my current position. I know I’m stressed out (both professionally and personally) but I still need to produce *something* by the end of next week.

Here are the things I will do (today) to position myself to reset and refocus:

Write down everything that needs to get done over the next few weeks out on paper

Break down the most important (time sensitive) tasks into smaller chunks

Look at my calendar next week and schedule in the time sensitive small chunks

Eliminate any unnessary time sinks (i.e. chatting with co-workers, social media, current books I'm obsessing over, etc.)
