Yesterday I met my mentor-figure who helped to get me all fired up. I got home, tried to do some work, ended up getting distracted anyway, and spent a couple of hours on Facebook. I slept at 4am, or later.<\/p>\n
It’s Monday. I woke up around 7-something AM. Somehow, my body is beginning to get used to the idea of waking up early, even when I sleep late. But I think I better sleep early today, to solidify the routine.<\/p>\n
I wasted some time online, then headed to City Hall to sell a t-shirt at 1:30pm. Topped up my EZ-Link Card. ($10) I had lunch at McDonald’s. ($5.5)<\/p>\n
I then sat around reading my Economics book (Economics in Public Policies: The Singapore Story). Sold another 2 t-shirts to another customer at 3:40pm.<\/p>\n
Met up with Adnin. Went to Kaplan’s library. Spent some time being frustrated with Internet failure. Downloaded Nanny for Chrome, Strict Pomodoro. <\/strong>(I have since deleted Nanny- Pomodoro is good enough for me.)I used my Write or Die<\/strong> app, and churned out two separate pieces of over 1,000 words each. They’re still unedited.<\/p>\n Wisdom to contemplate- never try to write something and edit it at the same time. Generate first, edit later. Bulk, then cut.<\/p>\n I write the most when I don’t have any access whatsoever to the internet.<\/strong> The best way to do this is with pen and paper. The second best way to do this, it seems, is to use Pomodoro (or Nanny) to artificially restrict myself.<\/p>\n I quite enjoy the game dynamic present in Write or Die. It makes it a bit fun and challenging, and in a way distracts me from other distractions. (Use a diamond to cut a diamond, a stickier narrative to displace an existing sticky narrative, and fight distraction with a superior distraction- namely, a couple of meters that are altering in real time, in front of your face.)<\/p>\n I haven’t played Lumosity in a while. Perhaps I should. I have yet to create a structured morning\/night routine. This shall be one of my main priorities, something I shall do in between writing and studying. I should perhaps now go back to studying. (Study)<\/p>\n Met the band. Rehearsed. Did some reading in between sessions.<\/p>\n Got home at 11:30pm. Time to plan the next day.<\/p>\n Objectives for tomorrow:<\/strong><\/p>\n Yesterday I met my mentor-figure who helped to get me all fired up.
