Motivation has been really lacking for me lately. I’ve been playing games, surfing the web, watching shows, etc. Nothing to progress my desires to learn and create.
I recently got that glimpse of motivation today when I heard about “Jerry Seinfeld’s Productivity Secret” (http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret). It’s basically a calendar posted somewhere important with every day filled in with the same tasks. When one task is complete, you cross it off or place a big X on that date. Once the month is complete, you can gaze with satisfaction of all the hard work that has been amounted.
I have tried motivating myself, but this is just another method to get me back on track.
I created a simple calendar in Google Calendar with three goals on my list:
- Work (programming, system admin, etc) – daily
- Work out – daily
- Blog – weekly
We will see how this goes. I cannot keep count of how many WordPress instances I currently have, let alone the other failed ones. I had set this WordPress up quickly with no themes and just some security.
Wish me luck!
