Hmm, something many face and which many are able to turn around.
I'm no expert however starting small and working up to it is something you could try.
Try setting some really easily achieved time-objectives that you can meet each day. It will get you into somewhat of a routine in a very passive way. After a couple days of meeting those time-management items add in a little more and more. It will create a habit. If those things are easy to meet then you'll not have the issue of feeling like you let yourself down because you didn't meet them. If you start small, there's also no reason you shouldn't meet them.
Example:
Start by setting a time of day in which you have a coffee and do fifteen minutes of coin stuff. Make and drink the coffee at the set time, do the fifteen minutes of coin stuff and tick that box on your list which you have magnetised to the fridge.
Add one more thing to the time management/to-do list...maybe fifteen minutes of Hive comments at 1500h. Do it and tick it off the fridge list.
Boom, you just mastered time management for the day. Do this for a few days and then add in a third etc.
It takes twenty one days to form a sustainable habit, so in three weeks you'll be well on track.
Thanks for the tip. Small wins, I like that. Twenty one days to form a habit is something I have read and heard before. Should help keep me focused.
I was thinking about starting to do a handwritten journal to track and log my what I do for a few days. Who knows, it may make for some good posting material. I know their are tasks I accomplish, just not what I set out to do, or wanted to do.
People often try to take huge steps with something like this, but there's only one way to eat an elephant, *and that's one bite at a time.
A journal would work well too, tracking your progress is essential.
