Most people spend most of their "free" time browsing the internet and being unfocused. Don't be like most people.

  Last night I read something about 16 ways to be productive or something like that. After some thought, I realized how much time I waste just mindlessly surfing the net every day. One point the article made was that scheduling is key, especially is self-discipline isn't your strong point (and believe me, it isn't a strong point of mine). So I decided that, before going to bed, I would create a schedule for the following day (that is, today) and stick to it. There were a few bumps along the road that required moving some things around but now it's 7:00 PM and I've managed to complete everything on the list up until this point. From now on, I will be explicitly scheduling free time (I actually have some coming up in about 30 minutes).

    If you struggle to schedule, which you don't seem to, you can de-schedule. What I do is schedule time for goofing off (browsing) that way the rest of the time is focused on what I have to do. Granted it helps listing the tasks but I struggle to complete tasks in allotted time frames.

      I tend to schedule more time than I think I'll need to complete a task, rather than less. Any time left over goes to tasks that I didn't complete earlier in the day and, if none exist, I browse.
