Old Habits Are Strong!
After upgrading some Word press software on my own domain, I saw it was already 4 months ago that I posted here for the last time. I broke my old habit of regularly writing on my own brain log for no apparent reason. At that same time I started a productivity and logging experiment and after two months of successfully using it, I stopped it on purpose to measure the effect for another two months.
In short the experiment consisted of logging every day and what the major thing was I did in each time frame of 30 minutes. That way I would make sure that I would do something worthwhile at least every 30 minutes of the day. The first two weeks were pretty hard to do, but afterwards it became a habit. After one month I could write down what I did every 30 minutes of that day out of my head in the evening in one sitting. After two months of using it, it was such a productive method, that I wondered if I could stop writing it down and just use it in my head.
Now two months after stopping logging, it’s clear that writing stuff down is golden. Besides the fact I FELT less productive, I also really WAS less productive. I also have no way of measuring my life anymore, which as a real numbers-person is somewhat creepy for me.
Today I’ve started logging again and already I feel the productivity flow back. The power it gives to yourself is so great!
Let’s activate some old habits again. Like blogging on a regular basis as well…
