Ami is starting over fresh with this new account

an idea  — 23 hours ago

tonight, i’m going to bed with my little notebook in hand, i’m going to start a list of things i put off – big and small – and put them into prioritized categories. i’m curious to see what i come up with.

I'm getting better at fighting the future, someday I'll be fine. I'll be just fine.  — 1 day ago

Coming out really feels great. Reading it over only reminds me that since I’ve completed that step, I should move on to another. I wrote a list of triggers and realised that there aren’t many, only a few but there were sure enough to hold me back. Today I only came online twice and missed a few programmes. Once in the morning and now. Definitely an improvement. I got some work done as well. I know this is only getting better.

Can't be bothered  — 1 day ago

The weather is just too great to stay inside in the office and answer millions of emails. All I want to do is lie down and sleep somewhere in a park.
There is thought that I’ve had for quite some time now. If I would be completely free of any kind of obligations by society etc., I would probably spend my life asleep. This is a scary thought.

Motivate yourself  — 1 day ago

Question:“How do you eat
an elephant?” Answer:“One
bite at a time.”

There’s great wisdom in this venerable
saying. Overwhelming responsibilities
or projects that seem indigestible—
the very kind we often dangerously
procrastinate on—become
easier to deal with when we nibble
away at them one bite at a time.

i think we can begin a task
you’re procrastinating on is to promise yourself a reward
at its conclusion. Another way is to acknowledge the negative consequences
of procrastination. When tempted to procrastinate, ask yourself,
am I willing to suffer the consequences of . . .
• Missing this deadline?
• Having no time to check for mistakes?
• Producing inferior work?
• The stress associated with the resulting time pressures?

Pretty good  — 3 days ago

I’ve been pretty good today in terms of productivity. Although I have to admit I hadn’t that much of a choice but rather deadlines I had to keep. Still, the outcome was rather good despite the time pressure.
I know I can do good work, but to do everything I have to do in a way that is acceptable to me, I would need to stay till nine everyday (right now I am staying till 7). This leaves no time to do anything else, which I am not doing right now anyway, but how will I ever be doing it?
