Lots of topics, lots of people. I enjoy it sometimes more than creating something alone with myself. Also because the interaction is simple, here and now, unlike those <strong>important things that need focus, patience and time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I received an audio message on WhatsApp from a friend, but I want to finish this article. And that I am a fact <strong>curious<\/strong>, what&#039;s in that audio. The <strong>message<\/strong> but again <strong>blown away<\/strong> mine <strong>attention<\/strong> God knows where and for a long time. And the article will be heard somewhere, as it has been so many times before. At the end of the day <strong>he will be behind me<\/strong> again just a piece of carbon footprint and <strong>chat history<\/strong> somewhere on the server. And that&#039;s enough to support the family <strong>little<\/strong>. But when I publish the article, I am really happy. From myself, from the fact that there is something behind me. Something I can refer to and show the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And that&#039;s what today is about, we often can&#039;t stay with what we&#039;re doing. <strong>We have no patience<\/strong>. She is not needed online. And we have online <strong>attention<\/strong> others, too much for us <strong>it warms<\/strong>. Maybe just my problem. Mine and my friends with whom we deal with it. But <strong>maybe you have something similar<\/strong>. The reward of interacting with someone is just awfully powerful. And work is often a struggle with an unclear result. This article? I&#039;m not writing it unnecessarily, someone will read it, someone will be interested, isn&#039;t it bullshit? I have the audio message here, just in the side window. Just move the mouse or ALT+TAB.<\/p>\n<p>Procrastination in practice then looks like my Offline and happy roadmap. I have 23 things in there<strong> I jump from topic to topic<\/strong>, I overwhelm myself by adding more and more things (<strong>Decision paralysis<\/strong>). Instead of gradually closing open things and slowly moving forward, I managed to finish a lot of ballast that is not important. Or it&#039;s the other way around <strong>Pareto&#039;s rule<\/strong> in practice. I have finished the unimportant 80%, the important 20% is pending.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>It&#039;s not my fault = nice bullshit!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I think I tend to not finish things and put them off until later. This can sometimes cause mischief. The way he looks doesn&#039;t help either <strong>HO at our house<\/strong>: I often spend about 2 hours in the morning with the children at my feet - so I mainly shout and I&#039;m happy to open the browser. Let alone spawn something. So I prefer not to plan too much for the morning and I am pleasantly surprised and always find something. Regular rest is only about 2 hours in the afternoon when the children are sleeping. Before he flies again. I&#039;m probably a little bit too <strong>workaholic<\/strong>. AND <strong>a perfectionist<\/strong>. And when I start working on something and try to finish it, I get a message that I should do something else. And then <strong>i skip<\/strong> like crazy For example, today I&#039;m preparing a course, writing on LinkedIn and checking email forwarding. And that&#039;s why I&#039;m writing this article. It will be a few more days before I put him out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But I was helped by the realization that these are all things anyway<strong> my excuses<\/strong>. <strong>The way I do it, the way I feel<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Do you recognize any of these? Maybe yes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What with this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is no pill yet to maintain concentration and diligence. I share what works for me - old school discipline, common sense and barriers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I set the rules and I try to follow them<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Shutting down all windows and communicators and just not crawling around for a while. I hope I can hold out for a while and the things will wait.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I have an approximate number of hours per week that I am trying to work<\/em><em>and from home<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 It is now about 25 hours a week. Is that not enough for you? At home with the family, it&#039;s just fine, believe me. Even at work, according to surveys, we work a maximum of 5 hours, the rest are cigarettes, coffee, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I close myself off and work in blocks<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 I shut myself away from my family, use headphones and work in blocks. I work on something, I take a break, I continue. The interval is between one and two hours, depending on what I&#039;m doing and how much I&#039;m involved. It is also called <strong>Pomodoro method<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I&#039;m kind to myself<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 It&#039;s just work, not life. I almost worked myself to death last time. I am consciously modest and accept imperfection - unfortunately not everything will be ready. Did I do a lot? Or not enough? How do I know? A day has 24 hours, work, rest, family and myself must fit into this interval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I cut back on activities and work with my energy<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 I work with attention and with my energy as a limited reservoir for a particular day. The evening is empty (exhausted), so I don&#039;t create much anymore and rather try to rest and regain strength for the next day. Whenever I try to grab something in the evening, the quality is often poor. At the same time, I have to distribute all that energy between work, myself and family. If I use it somewhere, it&#039;s missing somewhere else - that&#039;s just the way it is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>My bad features on the eyes<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 I know where I am weaker.
