Productivity and Goal



Saw this above pic on Facebook recently.

This really struck me.

It taught me something.

Or rather, it made me realised what I have not been doing.

Let me tell you about the "8 Habits of Highly Unproductive People".


Habit 1: Keep all the unimportant
(And don't care about the important)

Habit 2: Take break anytime you want
(Just have fun!)

Habit 3: Do not care about productivity pitstops.
(Things that limit your productivity? Never mind, let them be!)

Habit 4: Forget about inspirations.
(What's inner muse anyway)

Habit 5: Do not set up barriers to entry
(Make yourself as accessible as possible!)

Habit 6: Do things last minute
(Just have fun first!)

Habit 7: Do not set timelines
(Just do things whenever you want!)

Habit 8: Think that everything is automated.
(Yeah all problems will be solved by themselves)


Well this is not really exactly what I have been doing but it's more or less the same.

I think Habit 1 is the No. 1 culprit. I do way too many unimportant stuff.

So many that I often lose track of what's important and what's unimportant.

I do set timelines, but I often forget about them.

Those unimportant stuff always take away much of my time, leaving less time for important stuff.

Maybe the question here is, what exactly is my goal?

What do I want to achieve?

I realise that question is not clear to me.

That's why every night I still sleep late, and I still oversleep on some days.

Because I'm not sure what I want to achieve.

What I want to do.

So I think from now, I need to write down my goal very clearly.

And paste it on my wall, so that I can see everyday.

Yes, I need to be reminded everyday.

Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen.
