Growth

-Time spent learning

-Time spent practicing

-Time spent thinking

Feel like an idiot

Aiming for progress, and I just don’t see it. I started writing today late evening which is an improvement certainly, but it just isn’t enough, I soon got distracted well before I really did anything. I didn’t really manage breakfast, I barely wrote, I hardly read, I didn’t draw, But I did paint. And I ate a ton of trash.

I know the solution is just to do it, but I’m far too stubborn. What happens when have the thought to do something, my reaction is “nope, I just one more of this then there’ll be time for that”, what’s even worse is that I actively notice I am doing that and then have the thought that I should act immediately to encourage that behaviour each time but rather I will not act out of stubbornness. Not what I want, and it literally makes no sense. I want to be more proactive and have a drive to act. Tomorrow I will set five goal posts, and instead of the intention for the day being to have written or to read or drawn etc, the intent is to tick off these five challenges Wake up, Meditate with tea, Take meds, Step outside, Write something new for an hour, Read for an hour, Paint. All very simple objectives, all things I can do and do amongst four hours of the day, and out of sixteen hours that is not a huge amount of time to do activities I want to do. Five days since I last did some essential work; I’ve written everyday bar one since then. I didn’t manage to do any work today which at least isn’t falling back; missing one days writing is annoying though.

To go further, tomorrow I need to compare what I have said I’ll do, with what I have and haven’t been doing.

Perseverance

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did” - Newt Gingrich.

Perseverance is what I’m not good at, I’m repeating myself so much now and I hate it. I have barely managed to touch my goals this week, I’ve touched on them but I never pushed through to the goals I set out for myself, a day where I set six hundred words for myself I wrote a hundred and I told myself that I could finish and sleep, not how it works. I’m sabotaging my efforts by leaving them so late in the day as it is; Wednesday I managed to not work on a single thing and that was probably the biggest problem. So, for tomorrow.

Wake up, I’ve been waking up comfortably around eight this week, that’ll be a good time to get up but as long as it is before twelve  we’re good. Breakfast. Tea and chill. Doughnuts, And cake. And fruit. Writing Reading Drawing And Painting. Sunshine.

What is important is to get outside, eat enough, and achieve something new. Even if that’s go to the shops and buy doughnuts and then paint. I want to start a daily one hundred word story, something to bridge the gap between writing this everyday and overcoming the challenge of writing outside of comfort and ease. I need to plan ahead and not let myself get distracted. Fifteen minute bursts.

[yearlongthing]

Trio

This week though; started off well but then it’s deteriorated over a few days getting to yesterday where I wrote nothing. Reset tomorrow and get back on it; starting back at the very basics. I never managed to meet the thousand word targets; yeah it’s an easy task to write that much for this but writing for work I can’t seem to quite get to a place where I can write freely just to get words down and ideas out to develop later. Staying with the hundred words idea, but now not going to force the thousand words, just going to drop the pressure off and write. If half the problem is my mindset, it’s not even a mindset of writing being hard or not enjoyable, I mean it is hard but it is also enjoyable, it’s a kind of stubbornness, and for a couple of days I was working and I managed to overcome that default stubborn mind that’s developed (how did it develop? Not important really). I need to work out how I did that and foster that, all at the same time, build up my ability to work on new tasks and styles. Write a daily adventure of a hundred words? For no reason except for the daily writing? Let it be rubbish, it doesn’t need to be as good as my other work, it is purely to develop my ability to work not my actual work. I will upload the time lapse of me writing this and then one of me writing some prose, the difference is quite interesting I think

[yearlongthing]

What-a-mess!

So gross, I’ve barely been able to stay awake today, just ill and sluggish. Not enough to make any excuses to not work, but enough to mean everything was an effort today; writing this feels like a much bigger achievement than it really is, I didn’t even get my work done today. So today is a normal day, just I should be in bed much earlier than I will be; I’m no hero. No real achievements for today, I got out of the house, which is a success considering the amount I was dosing off. But I am still leaving things off until later and I was even worse today. I find a hundred words exhausting apparently and while that may sound silly to most people that’s where I am, I need to make sure I continue with those hundred words a day, I need to get used to those hundred words and then soon enough I will grow accustomed to it, and I will increase the amount of time and effort. I’m still aiming for a thousand words each day this week, no reason I can’t manage that, I just need to not put it off and give myself the time to do it and not rush. No rush for perfection. Just words on the page, nice and simple; we just need to start. That moment in the day where I’m not quite sure what I’m doing with myself, that’s time for working. How to get my work done tomorrow 1. Wake up and get up. 2. Eat and settle to work before twelve, immediately out of bed isn’t working. 3. Write and time lapse for an hour before lunch. 4. Lunch, no laptop, no phone. 5. Another hour working. 6. Find out if anyone wants to coffee shop and write. 7. Make dough. (this should be four O’clock). 8. Write. 9. Eat

• Some things will creep in there but as long as the writing parts a pretty solid, we should be good. • I’m going on the likely hood that I will wake up by ten like normal, the change up is that I’m going to try and get up and ready as soon as I can rather than around/gone twelve. At that point it’ll take forever to settle and by the time I’m writing it’ll basically be evening. • My uncle told me work done in the morning is worth twice as much as the rest of the day. Let’s get that done. • When did I stop getting up and working in the morning? Because it’s not cool. • Tomorrow; get over this cold and get work done, so lots of food.

Tl;dr Still can’t work. Need to work. Will work. Mornings are valuable. The whole point is to stop being as pathetic as this. Means work.

[yearlongthing]

Adventure time.

I want to go on an adventure. I want to go someplace new for the day; explore. Being out of the house early while it’s still fresh. I’m back in a place where doing things excites me, I am starting to return to the impromptu again, and this makes me happy. I want to read all the books; I want the patience to read all the books. I want the discipline to sit down and read all the books.

[yearlongthing]

Writer stereotype: unshaven, glasses, tired eyes and a mug in hand.

I really want doughnuts Success, I started writing before midnight, and it wasn’t just this journaling. Writing I can attribute to a project. I took a time lapse video of me writing that for an hour and then one typing something up for an hour, the difference was quite surprising; writing up work I’d done early was just me looking between the screen and notebook and typing, while the writing itself I write half as much and end up pulling a lot of hair subconsciously, and hunching. But completing the amount I set out to achieve felt very good, and I will grow more accustomed to doing that work and like getting used to writing this everyday soon I’ll be on top of everything if everything goes to plan. I am possibly getting ill and I am becoming more anxious about some seminars I have this week. But this is day fifteen and I would now say I’m am doing well in the writing everyday part; if this is day one of solid decent writing by day fifteen hopefully I will have it under my belt by day thirty. Getting out just helps, today I’ve seen so many friends all with smiles on their faces, saw some lovely sights including the sun, last night it was peaceful and pleasant. It just stirs up the mind and gives inspiration. It’s possibly my favorite writing prompt, problem is it is a bit difficult to write at the time you are walking (take notes while you’re walking?). And it helps a stiff back if you have one. With this cracking down on writing there have been more headaches and a stiff back, as well as new glasses have been a little more irritating.

Adulting and actual graft this week.

4I have planned out the next week, by the end of the week, if I stick to the plan (which I will, because cake) I will have: a first draft for each piece of work I need to do, been to every lecture and seminar I have this week, and begun on many adulting tasks that I need to begin. The plan is to be done by the end of Saturday to have Sunday to rest, if not I have it to catch up on everything. The goal each day is to have a thousand words for each day, in a basic first draft, I want to get a start on everything so even if I feel that day work is incomplete I must move on the next day; there will always be the Sunday and four more weeks to go, this week is to get ideas down. I can take these all to CASE then soon before it gets too late.

I finally got round to using my diary today for the first time in a while, possible the first proper time this year; having everything planned out and written down makes it all seem a little more permanent and like I will tackle each day. I need to decide over this week what it is that I am going to do on Sunday to relax and break from work, screen break probably, but something to look forward to also. I need a contingency plan if in case something goes wrong or my mood drops. Try to keep moving. Plans are good, once this week is over and I have a hold of my work I will move onto getting back to exercise. I need to be swimming and climbing each week as well as possibly running. Then I can tackle my little struggle with adulting. Budgeting feels like the one thing I have under my belt. Sleeping, waking up, leaving the house, food schedule, time management, cleaning socialising, you name it, I could probably do with improving. We’ll work on that soon.

“There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” - Bruce Lee

Yes, I am improving, and there are gains in what I am doing but I’m not getting anything done. Since I have started to manage writing every day I’ve begun to plateau, I’m producing numbers now not better writing (if anyone cares to look back it might be the case that my reflective type of writing has possibly improved since I began, which I would be happy about, but my project work isn’t going anywhere). I need to spend more time on writing; on constructively spending my time. More time reading and trying to write specifically is where I should be focusing my efforts.

Basics:

1. Planning (I spent too much time here looking at what I want to do and how I should do it.) 2. Planning (,out the actual story, scenes for scene ideas, characters, progress, I don’t spend nearly enough time here) 3. Writing (Too much time on planning and ignoring plotting the work out I get here and flounder and make slow progress and give up somewhere along the line) 4. Editing (I never reach the end or I don’t give myself the time I need to edit and proof before finishing it) • Reading (This is important throughout, to break up the time working and giving space and source for ideas and development) • Time and though (Again important like reading, gives space for ideas and development) • Returning to an earlier stage is always appropriate, jumping a stage will not help.

I have eight projects and seven weeks to:

Write a stage play, Present my research proposal, Write my up research project, Complete my independent portfolio, Figure out my poetry and prose portfolio, And write a film script. 1. A day planning out the next seven weeks, going into detail and pragmatic; providing for diary and unseen problems. Six 200 hundred word abstracts. (Tomorrow) 2. Two days to set out ideas for each project. Six mind maps, six lists. (Monday) 3. A day for each project researching and putting time into producing a first draft. Six days to write 1000 words each. (Wednesday-Sunday) 4. A day reviewing each draft, and notes, and development. Six days (Tuesday-Sunday) 5. A day each applying review. Six days (Tuesday-Sunday) • Visits the CASE • This whole idea to cycle until done. • Smashing grades.

I have been neglecting other important none writing tasks, it is important I start giving them attention too: Projects, Emails, Appointments, and Work.

There was a guy burning a pile of papers out by the side of the Boxing Club while I was walking home tonight, totally not dodge at all.

Tomorrow I have a deadline and I haven’t started, so I plan made to working first thing isn’t going as well as it could be. Met up at one, coffee by four, done there by and with the loaf by eight, was going to giving it till ten, started until half midnight, home at half oneish. It is four minutes past four; I have literally been wasting time for two and a half hours, I really don’t know what I’ve been doing, it took about an to set up and faff before sitting down to work. So that’s an hour and half with distractions and procrastination. Point is, I should have prioritised work first off over literally everything. Should have spent half the time out and half of that time working while we were in the cafe, but same old same old, I faffed and got tired off reading as per usual, could have managed half my work by eight. The rest of evening now would putting it in order and getting it ready.

Really this tumblr is for my own daily accountability and a very basic prompt to write every day, and so I’m not really writing this for people to read (but apparently people have started to which feels strange, but adds an extra level of welcome of accountability), even so I feel kinda boring writing about time wasting and the same things over and over. These are the challenges I need to tackle though, but I guess it’s a reason to attempt to make it interesting. Enough of this though, I really need to crack on, I have five minutes to plan, then I want to get this work done in five hours, two hours research, an hour putting together and writing what I have, an hour putting it all together to submit.

[yearlongthing]

Kinda success

There are countless books I want to read, and part way through way too many. I count eight books that are on my immediate list, three I think I can tidy off in a day, four comfortably in a week, and the last one is a slow one I’m reading to someone else slowly. There are a couple more I’d like to start but it’s dangerous to add to an already long list. I can’t even make much time for reading tomorrow either; I really need to crack on with an assignment due soon.

What are my aspirations though? Where do I want to get to? Where do I want to be?

Give me a month; A start on all my projects, to have a key understanding of German, 10000 words, more outgoing, and to have spoken too more new people, make casual conversation, 21 daily sketches. Give me a Year; to have completed second year, to have 365days of writing, a better job, ability to wake up on cue, to have had read 52 books more, to be more effective at working, begun an tangible online presence. Give me a decade; to have an established role and career, 520 books down, to stay in contact with as many of my great friends as possible and more.

Today’s success has been dubious. I did not write as the first thing I did in the morning, though I did draw my curtains and drink that water. New to my day though was that I shot a time-lapse video of sunshine turning into heavy clouds and rain; I really like how it turned out. That’s what comes from extended exposure to Casey Neistat. Distractions mainly came from myself today, I wanted food, I wanted countless cups of tea. Procrastination wasn’t too bad today, I didn’t get to writing until late but what I was doing in the day was productive. I tidied, reasonably successfully to. Sleep was so so today, got up at a fair pace, but it was sluggish, and well sleep is going to be late tonight. But I’m still feeling positive, at least the writing isn’t getting any later than it was, and I should be able to get a fairly decent amount of sleep before I need to get up. Right now I am concentrating on this well, but the same concerns are on my when it comes to project work, and especially soon when the need for research is becoming increasingly important, distraction will be something to keep an eye on. Almost no cluttered room, I have very nearly sorted this room out, what I am left with is a small pile of non everyday items, several things I can probably get rid of. Success, I have an area for my work things and a clear desk, and my bookshelf has the beginnings of organisation. During the day I did kind of come in and out of tidying but while I was tidying I was only doing that, and while writing now, there was just one comic that was relentlessly calling to me.

Tl;dr Left it to the last minute, but I do like time lapse videos. Semi success with distractions and procrastination. Sleep was half hearted, but I got up. Good concentration. Tidy room = good room. So many books.

[yearlongthing]

Mini success.

Writing first thing in the morning. Not quite, it’s taken me two hours from waking up, but I turned down being social to write right now, so there are pros and cons. Writing a hundred words before talking to anyone. Again no, but there are always people in the house so it’s rude and hard to avoid saying hello, so this one is too strict. I will change this to not getting draw into conversation before having written. Procrastination. Yeah, I got drawn into YouTube and Tumblr for about an hour. But then a new procrastination, I’m going to put it down to the out of the normal time of day that I’m trying to work, I started looking at jobs. Now that is a good thing but while trying to write it is procrastination. Sleeping too long. Woke up shortly before my alarm and got up before looking at the time. I would call this a success.  Next, sleep at midnight and repeat today’s success tomorrow. Concentration. I haven’t day dreamed all that much, it took short moment  to settle into the work but now I’ve started I’ve got a pretty good flow. At the same time this is while doing a task I am now more than comfortable doing. I do not know how I will get on when I try writing new work after this. Tidy room. It’s still a mess but because I’ve not started the day yet, writing is priority, and tidying would be more like procrastination right now. Today I will clear out the rubbish I have sorted before I head into town today, and finish going through things if I have the time. Tomorrow, the desk. One task at a time. Hole in one, laptop and a mug of tea. I had my notebook that I doodled in for five minutes but that was. Now to get proficient at organising tasks, like when I need to plan, research and write, as separate dedicated tasks. Also I know I can write with pretty good flow, but I think I need to learn how to limit my plan making time and improve my researching skills. Hundred words is working out fine, sitting down for one hundred – ending with 435, with more to write.

End of the day. Semi successful, biggest goal was achieved, wrote during the day. Slightly disappointed that I failed to continue writing again. Once everyone came home it became increasingly difficult to return to work, so two options; get even more writing done in the day and tidy my room so I can migrate upstairs when too many people are around. So all in all, pleased with today but I need to set plan a little more for the next day. So I feel it was so easy to get up and write because I had resolved to the night before and I had reason to get up. So now, again I’ll get up as I wake up and write early as I can, I need to go out but I will suggest we go to a coffee shop where we can sit a create, this will be my second session of working in the day. Other goals to achieve, drink water, draw curtains, sleeping at midnight, clearing my desk, focus, and mindfulness.

“Evenly, without rushing” - Not a hippy blog I promise, I just need to drink more tea.

[yearlongthing]

New strategy, actually try.

This is ridiculous; I have completely the wrong attitude. Yes I want to improve and move forward with my writing and my mind is set on that. In that way I have the right attitude, but while I have the writing everyday down, what I am now producing is stagnating and going nowhere, I need to write in the day and not past midnight. I need to do more than just say that’s what I’ll do, I need to establish how I am going to do that and make it possible.

So what is wrong now stopping me from writing when I should be? Leaving it until the last moment of the day, Distractions from housemates and friends, Procrastination, Sleeping too long, Lack of concentration, Untidy environment, Just assuming I’ll get round to it.

Right now I am writing last thing at night before going to bed. From tomorrow I will write a hundred words first thing in the morning when I wake up. Then eat. Late at nights are; causing me to wake up much too late in the day, limiting the amount I write because part of me is writing just so I can get it done and sleep as soon as possible rather than giving it the time it needs. It shows that I am not giving my writing enough priority. Writing first thing in the morning is giving it that priority, and it will encourage better sleep habits and better attitudes towards working.

Right now I am distracting myself by spending too much time socially. From tomorrow I will write a hundred words before talking to anyone.  And each time I do talk to someone, I will write another hundred before talking to anyone else. I will shut the door, and listen to music. Not giving myself the time to write is an obvious one. Not sitting down to work results in work not done and considering the time I spend doing not much at all or just talking to people in the house that’s a great deal of work being lost.

Right now I am giving in to procrastination, often before I even finish the first sentence. From tomorrow I will have the internet off while I am writing. I can write notes for what I might need to look up after I’ve been writing. I will shut the door and clear my desk. Procrastination is a real killer. Whenever I sit down to write immediately I will normally get the urge to turn to another activity; we’re talking about YouTube, Tumblr, Messenger, Chess, Food, Talking to people, Facebook – general timesinks. It is a similar case with chores.

Right now I am sleeping too late and far too long into the day. From tomorrow I will try to get up when I wake up. I will draw the curtains when I do so and drink a glass of water. I will begin writing from the beginning of the day and not write past midnight, I will sleep at midnight. Sleeping too long is cutting my time I have in the day down drastically, and by the time I end up going to work it is not far off from when everyone will be around and begin socialising, which is leading to work (if I have started on the off chance) will be interrupted prematurely. Want to sleep does not encourage one to proof read, so the amount of these that have mistakes in them are probably horrible, I don’t want to imagine what I have done in some of my assignments.

Right now when I write I do not concentrate on it as much as I can. From tomorrow I will clear my desk, close the door and put on music. I’ll avoid distractions and procrastinating and begin a better sleep routine. While I am not writing I’ll try and stay mindful and drink tea. While I drink tea, I won’t watch or do anything other than drink my tea. I lack concentration and so I am falling to procrastination too often and to the smallest distractions. I day dream and wander off, I need to be able to build up the length of time I am able to concentrate for. This is to say I need to become better against distractions as well as stopping half way through something just because my mind is wandering. I need to immerse myself into the work I am doing.

Right now I am dealing with a fairly messy room with a cluttered desk that I have to clear each time I want to use it, so I’m not using it. From tomorrow, I will clear my desk and chair permanently and carry on tidying and sorting my room. Having an untidy room isn’t not helping anything get done in anyway, it’s not the reason work isn’t happening but it would help to keep it in order. The desk is always covered with clutter because I haven’t sorted better places to put a lot of things and that means it rarely gets used from a day or two each time I use it.

Right now I kind of sit down with my laptop and maybe a book and a comic assuming if I start with the comic I’ll just gradually come round to working. From tomorrow I sit down with just my laptop and notebook with the sole intention to write, just one task at a time. And I will write first thing in the day, as routine. I sort of assume I’ll end up working I don’t having a set time to work each day will help, this writing at the end of the day doesn’t count this is my with no other choice because I want to get to sleep. Sitting down with a few things to do doesn’t work, I always go to the easiest nonessential task with the least pressure, so just one task at a time, writing time is dedicated solely to writing etc.

Hundred words is not a lot, two reasons for one hundred words. It is purposefully unintimidating so to encourage me to sit and write while by the time I’ve writing a hundred words I have caught on to an idea to go on with encouraging more words to eke out.  When I sit down to write a hundred words if I give it the time and the effort (something like an hour), I find I end up with about five hundred words. And where ideas aren’t really my problem, getting words down is the key for me then to go back over is the key.

Could be better but this feels pretty complete. Time to start upping the game.

Tl;dr Don’t leave it until the last minute. Get rid of distractions. Sleep normally. Stay focused. Keep a clean environment.

[yearlongthing]

That day I just couldn’t be arsed.

I will sit down and do my work, and I’m going to stop doing it so late at night. It’s nearly four and I am so tired. Today went from a pretty positive start to just rubbish, I started writing two hours ago; no incentive to write today and that has led to half five in the morning. But there is always something to write about sitting down getting on with it is the key, even if I’m writing nonsense for half an hour I’ll  happen upon something to write about, like this for example; I now have a topic to write about. What I need to overcome is writing in the day as well as beating poor moods or stubbornness. So move and create, sitting around is not useful. Why lie in bed? Why stop? This is getting pretty poor, I do need to start writing in the day.

[yearlongthing]

Breaking things down

Of course it is four in the morning. And of course I can’t think of anything to write. Today I began to tidy. Which is a pretty good example of how breaking things down helps immensely, tidying had been a task I have been putting off for a little while since got half way through sorting the cupboard out. It was a task that was just sitting there, until one I decided I needed to adult, and two I decided I would do it in parts, so today was waste paper. I hadn’t even realised that it was such a large part of the mess.

The lessons from this is that you can’t tell what a task required and is compromised of until you sit down and look at it and break it down, possibly not until you have begun it. It could have plenty of easy or enjoyable aspects to the work (sorting paper isn’t really so fun but it is easy), as well as harder parts. But even knowing there with be difficult tasks, is a step closer to finishing it than looking at it from a distance thinking it’ll be too big a challenge. Getting stuck in, is the best step forward. Planning and breaking obstacles down make it easier and more efficient to tackle a larger challenge. Rather than having to go back and forth between tasks, tackling all the aspects required to putting together the next stages of the project make what are progressively more complicated  and challenging steps simpler and help streamline the work being done.

So my current project going back to step one where to; Initial storyboarding, Writing any initial ideas, Complications and research needed in current idea, Writing regularly and whenever an idea comes Reading similar fiction to what I intend to create Writing Research, Evaluation Writing

And so tomorrow my task is to break these down even further and crack on with the actually work. As for my tidying, is now a case of sorting all the things I am keeping so to be able to consider the type of space I need to create.

The the lesson I’ve got tonight from 365 is that I start too many sentences with ‘so’. And that I need to work more.

[yearlongthing]

The Room

Today’s a bit of a weird post; it’s neither about my writing habits or my day, but just thoughts about my room.  But again I’m writing at four in the morning because didn’t make time for it earlier in the day, I went out immediately and didn’t make time where I could. I feel like if I was to try and write in the day tomorrow it wouldn’t really work, sitting here and writing at the end of the day just kind of fits now, I think this journal type writing for posting works at the end of the day but I need to make time earlier to start it so I’m well asleep by now. And my projects need more time made for them during the day, during sunlight.

Looking around all I need is my bed, desk, chair, Pens, some notebooks (though not all of them admittedly), this laptop, and my clothes. The rest is unnecessary. These are things that can go. It probably takes me twice as long to tidy as it really should, and that comes down to the fact that I don’t have a place to put everything, I have the space just I haven’t ever really organised much of it. Dumping the items I never use and sorting the things I don’t use often will help, that day in the week where I have a tidy room I always feel more positive and inclined to work, the space probably does make it easier to do work (especially if the book I need to read is under something I’ll never look at again. Basically; the out of date post, some of the paper ( some notes etc, random crap), half the library books, most likely anything that stays on the floor longer than a day. The rest is unorganised or cluttering up my desk. And Desk space is important, after using something it should go away, so clearing my desk isn’t one more effort to deal with before working. Writing is something I like to do each day but tidying isn’t.

Day to day though, what I take out into the world, that’s an interesting thing to think about (if you’re me). There are three things that are core – my keys, my phone, and my wallet. (There are my glasses as well but that’s like getting dressed, they are borderline apart of my face). The rest is situational. Three things that I tend to have – headphones, mints, rucksack (inside which there is a notebook and pens) Three things I want – The watch I just bought, comfortable trousers, and ink.

So tomorrow involves; lectures, writing, the smallest amount of tidying, and happiness.
