The Video that won me Productivity My post about The Study Project got me thinking about how much I used to procrastinate during University. It was just so natural and easy and... well fun. By the time I hit the third term of my final year, I had to put all of this aside and focus on the dreaded Honours Project which would take up most of my time for. Many times I found myself procrastinating and I tried different methods to stop. Nothing helped as I would just comfortably slip into yet another pointless activity. Time Management helped to a certain degree. Checking goals and having actions steps helped a bit too. But ultimately there would always be moments of unproductiveness which would lead to an imbalance and an all-nighter.
Just as the workload started to pick up (even more) I decided to enter a little competition. The task was simple, "Show us how you Do the Twisp". A Twisp is an electronic cigarette. I got an idea when I saw this huge cigarette and ashtray that my grandfather made. With my brother's help, we threw together this little video and entered.
I won two tickets to the Rocking the Daises music festival and what followed was the most productive week of 2013. In order to attend the festival I had to finish my work which was due the week after. This time I was not going to leave it until Sunday evening. #OnThatGrind, and it was worth it. The weekend was spent without worrying about school work.
I'm so grateful not to be working on weekends.
