awol
Wow, my posting pattern seems to have dried up since June. You'd think that summer is allowing me to spend time doing more productive things and that I'd be out there doing things, enjoying life, instead of blogging.
you'd be wrong.
work is changing, that much should have been hinted at in my posts at the beginning of June ( and here). I'm still trying to get used to it.
at the same time, i have a couple of posts that i've started and have not finished off. some of them are actually quite substantial, they just haven't been completed. i normally break out the laptop for the 35 minute ride on the way to work and blog during my time then, but lately, i've been either driving part way or trying to get some reading done.
I feel like I'm busy, just not productive. So I'm trying a couple of things that I hope will boost my personal productivity:
- using the Tasks area of Microsoft Outlook to organize my daily work tasks
- leaving work at a decent hour to get home and help Jenn with Naomi
- limiting my computer time-wasting (blogging doesn't count. surfing does.)
- trying to sleep by 12:30 nightly so I can get up and get to work at before 10 or 11 (old habit)
- getting work done at work so I don't bring work home
So far, I've had mixed success. I adhered to these fairly well for Monday and Tuesday, but starting from last night had a chain reaction relapse: slept late because I was surfing, got up late, got into work late, and now I'm just off, trying to catch up on the work that needs doing. Dagnabbit.
I can't let this be the story of my life.
