Your way of working sounds wonderful, but I find that I would probably struggle with this part. How are you able to define the end of your day and ensure you have such time marked off? I have tried this but always end up getting sucked into endless other issues/problems/etc and basically passing out at some point, only to wake up the next day to dive right in -- no time to be able to do that sort of retrospective note-munging...
(this is not exclusive to trying to find retrospective time; it applies to things like finding time for food/dinner, blocking out vacation time, or other things, too. work never ends!!)
- pseudoramble 5y agoNot OP, but I feel compelled to answer. I have lots of my own thoughts and feelings on the topic. I'll leave it at two framing thoughts: If you literally can't find time to eat, how will you even be able to function to execute work, let alone anything higher level than that? I know you probably didn't mean literally no time to eat, but my broad point is how can you work hard indefinitely without caring about your physical self reliably? If your workload will never end, what exactly are you racing against by working as hard as you can every day? Even if you 100% everything for one day, you're guaranteed to have just as much or more the next day, right? What are you gaining by battling every day until you give out?
- tra3 5y agoYou gotta schedule it. I do it first thing in the morning, I have a template checklist that goes through everything so I don't have to think: - [ ] write for 5 minutes - [ ] check inbox - [ ] process yesterday - [ ] schedule today
