Forth post of the series about my a life-style change.
The problem is identified — it is manly the time spend procrastinating and the time spend online or in front of my MacBooks screen. But how can that be changed? I have some different approaches to get this done.
Projects
Smaller Projects: One thing I do as a passion is to start projects. Many of which need way to much time and do not prove to be as great ideas in the end. One thing I think can be done is to focus the project passion on projects which are finishable in a few weeks and do not need 24/7 attention!
Not to many projects at a time: One more thing about my project passion is that I like to start different projects at the same time. Mostly the reason is because I have a new ideas for a project while working on an other one — so it is kinda the same problem. If a project is finished fast, I can start a new project fast.
Finishing Projects: One more thing about the project passion is that a long term project does not end and it seems like a never ending story. So finish the projects. Get them done and of your list.
Focus on Projects which are worth it: The best about this one is that the amount of projects decreases rapidly if you just think about the worth of a project. Many times it is a great idea but if you think about it for a bit longer you come to the conclusion that you either can not do it because you do not have the abilities or you find out that someone else already did the very same thing.
School Life
It should be the most important right now to finish school. And that is also the main reason why I keep thinking about the topic of the life-style-change. I need to study and the how is the question. Focus on school projects rather than on other-projects. If I still want to do a project, I should just focus on school-related projects
Conclusion
I still need to get on focus. I still need to stop much procrastination — right now my main procrastination is to research stuff to buy someday, which feels like making me happy but in the end I end up not buying anything so the research is not worth it.
These are some points were I would like to change something for the better and to focus my time on. The next post will be what I changed till now (since september 2009).
