do 43Things after work

I’m not sure that this was a good thing to do. Too much like a rule. I think all I did was to make myself appear to be working.

I’ve been under quota of internet usage for two months now, so at least one aspect of this seems to be working!

This is causing me problems. Because I don’t have internet at the place I sleep, I do my 43 Things writing and cheering after at the office after work, after 16:00. Unfortunately this means that I’m spending about eleven hours a day at the office. I either need to speed up my cheering and progress reports, or just cut down.

I don’t want this to become another thing that takes effort.

I’ve been doing this conscientiously. My 43Things time is now after work. This is not necessarily a good thing, so I’m not sure what to do with this goal: change it, mark it as done, or give up?

So far, this seems to be going well. Still read all the email from 43T in the morning, but (most of) the cheering and writing gets done after work.

I hope I don’t turn into a clockwatcher, but I did this today. Though I couldn’t resist the temptation to read the emails this morning.

This is a good thing to do also because the bandwidth is cheaper after 16:00.

I’m spending too much of my working time on 43 Things. Apart from time lost, it is also a from of procrastination. So I’m aiming to do my 43 Things after 1600.

Strangely, I feel guilty for setting a time of day to my goals. It’s a kind of admission that I’ve done wrong. “Me, waste time? Never!”

This would count for non-work Googling and Wikipedia too.
