You had time to think up that question and write it out. Was that not very much time? Did it not get interrupted?
I’m a stranger on the internet, so take it or leave it, but since you asked, here’s a hot take:
You aren’t being honest with yourself about how you spend your time. Reread your own question. 17 waking hours. Did you account for them all in your post? You listed a lot of things you don’t waste time on. A lot.
So what are you spending your time on?
What are you leaving out?
Try writing it down. Yeah, that’s stupid. But either you need some insight into how you’re spending your time, or the exercise will get you thinking about something you haven’t been.
That’s all just nonsense from a stranger though, so if it doesn’t resonate with you, maybe it missed the mark.
- nnadams 4y agoI agree with this method. In high school I tracked what I did every hour for 3 months. Probably over the top, but seeing the hours add up of watching TV--or just killing time--was what I needed. All these years later that exercise stays with me. The trick for me was to only be able to see one day at a time until the end of the month. I would record a day and think "I'll do better tomorrow." Only to realize that today is always yesterday's tomorrow.
- textninja 4y ago7 hours a night doesn’t sound great. Maybe he’s just bagged from sleep deprivation and caffeine abuse and the hours are whiled away in the default mode network, scrutinizing the ceiling? Better to work one hour on one thing that’s truly important, and give it your all, than spend 4 hours trying to bang through an endless list of obligations using the Seinfeld method. I speak from experience as someone who tried the latter.
