"If I do this part more efficiently, then I will save the time I'm wasting now. I'll be fine."

Im in this picture and I don't like.

Does anybody have tips to be more productive?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Since I switched to quartertime I quadrupeld my procrastination productivity.

Not done at 6? Instead of not doing it at 7 i'll now not doing it at 6:15, 6:30 and 6:45, too.

Yeah sure, just lemme browse a bit longer and after that I'll type them up for you.

You're procrastinating because you have some anxiety based on overestimation of the effort that the task will require and underestimation fo the pain that it will be to rush it at last minute. To prevent your brain from going wild, split into little easy tasks, start with something that seems pleasant or easy to do in 5 min and you may manage to focus for longer, or take a break and set another 5 min task. You can also add some reward, like I'll eat this chocolate cookie or watch this cool video after I have completed this much.

When you do, can you summarize it for me?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe summarize it into a top 5 list?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I feel personally called out

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Wait, you set a time to do things?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ah crap don't we all just hate it when that happens

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

get an analog watch/clock. It's amazing. For real you don't know what you're missing until you have one

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This message brought to you by Big Analog Watch/Clock.

I like big clocks and I cannot lie, all you other brothers can't deny

When a clock walks in with an itty-bitty bezel and a long minute hand you get sprung!

So you don't know what time it is and never feel guilty about procrastinating?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The opposite, I can at a glance tell how much time has passed and how much time I have left in a very visual way. The hands are a much easier way to interpret passage of time than some digits. And like the OP points out, it doesnt really matter if its 6:00 or 6:05, but I can see how much I've already procrastinated and how much I have left to do The Thing.

I'm genuinely suggesting this, it has made a difference for me.

Will analog watches soon be like VHS tapes and cursive handwriting?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been using mine wrong, I use my analog watch as a mouse bed so I won't appear away in teams. Lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh don't worry I'm suggesting this for important things, not work.
