59 sats \ 3 replies \ @optimism 2h \ on: How do you balance procrastination and productivity? AskSN
My day just started, it's "packed", but it matters with what, and i feel like I'm busy while procrastinating.
- My friend asked me last night if I could sit their dog for the day because they had an unexpected activity today. So in about 20 minutes from now I'm going to have some exercise for both their dog and I.
- After that I will write the AI weekly rollup from their place.
- By then I will have squandered 3 productive hours that should have been spent on writing docs.
- Come 4 hours of squandered productivity, it will be unavoidable to start writing docs, which I by then will really not like, but I'll do it. This is somewhat dumb because I actually like writing docs.
- I'll eat something at my desk and by the 7th hour in, it's exercise time again
- Hopefully I will have the discipline to continue writing after that.
Well done!
I’m the sort to push everything aside to help out a friend. We are loyal like that.
I like the way you framed the dog care as an opportunity for exercise. That way, you won’t feel Ike you are not optimising your time.
I can give you a nudge 12 hours from now so that you get some motivation to write those docus haha

Their dog is among the most hyperactive ones I've ever seen. So I just go for a run with him, and while we do that, once he stops running it means I've sufficiently done my job, and we can walk back. It truly is exercise with this dog if you give it what it wants. Another upside is that when he's as tired as I make him, he won't bother me while I work. Snore time literally just started. lol.

Haha thanks! Let's see how disciplined I turn out to be.
