25 /100 Days of Productivity

I was able to read outside for a little bit this morning before it started raining. I spent my lunch break applying to jobs and the rest of the day working from home.

Currently I'm reading Dracul

24/ 100 Days of Productivity

I was pretty productive at work but I lost momentum and wasn't able to work on personal projects after. I've been listening to Yukika a lot lately.

23/100 Days of Productivity

I went to the library to pick up a book that wasn't available as a digital loan and enjoyed the last of the warm weather before winter. I spent a lot of time by water today and walked for over and hour on the beach with my mom and sister.

22 /100 Days of Productivity

I kind of stopped using tumblr for a while. I don't know why but I just haven't felt like it. Lately I've been a really big slump so these last few days I've been trying to restart and refresh my to do lists and goals.

[rsingwriting]

I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school. 

And sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good. 

And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. 

Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.

this goes for literally any goal? Doing ANYTHING is infinitely better than doing nothing. No energy for the gym? do 5 pushups

FIVE MINUTE RULE (also known as 10 minutes but that’s too long for me). If you need to do something, clean your room, write some of your essay, exercise and you can’t start give yourself five minutes “I will do this thing for five minutes” you can stop after 5 minutes but most of the time you’ve started this task so you end up getting into it and don’t even realise 5 minutes has gone. And if after 5 minutes, or during the 5 minutes, you find you need to stop or keep thinking about stopping, you’re not in the headspace to do the task, and there’s no point forcing yourself to.

[100 days of productivity challenge - 20/100]

Starting a new bullet journal is always such a nice boost of motivation, and I happened to finish my old one just in time for the new semester! I'm gonna use this month to really get as prepared as possible for it
