The Getting Organized Experiment of 2006 / GETTING ORGANIZED EXPERIMENT WEEK 5 ASSIGNMENT (October 1 to October 7)
« Last post by mouser on October 02, 2006, 12:19 PM »
We're continuing with 2 week "segments", so week #5 (Oct 1st-8th) will be a continuation of our Mark Forster week.

So if you haven't yet read the big week #4 assignment to learn about Mark Forster's Techniques, read it here:
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=5440.0

And to summarize the continuing assignent, you are to follow Forster's "Little and Often" recommendation:
  • Pick a project you have been putting off for a while and have not been able to get yourself to work on, and work on it for 5 minutes each day, until October 8th. [Update: as Mark Forster has now commented below, this should say to work on it for AT LEAST 5 minutes each day]
  • Read more about this challenge here: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=5418.0

well in some sense, believe it or not, this is a good thing - reliable bugs are the easiest to fix.  give me a few days to take card of upgrading some other software and i will get back to you about a fix.  don't worry, we'll solve it.

its true that agp is being phased out, but im not sure how much you care about that - it's not like it really effects you except if you wanted to upgrade one day to a faster graphics card, and by then in a few years youll want to upgrade the whole thing, so i'm not sure it matters.

The Getting Organized Experiment of 2006 / Re: who dares wins - my challenge to you.
« Last post by mouser on October 01, 2006, 08:54 AM »
since we are focusing on mark forster i will just again remind you that part of his strategy is to circumvent the normal resistance that your mind puts up to these things, and not put stuff on your todo list that you can't actually maintain.

if you make yourself too-ambitious a plan for each day, your brain is likely to rebel.  so just dont go crazy and plan out some schedule packed with stuff that you'll never be able to stick with.  start really small - as small as your need to, in order that you can actually work on what you've chosen to work on.  reduce the commitment until you can overcome the resistance.

« Last post by mouser on October 01, 2006, 08:35 AM »
don't aim for x hours - as forster says that's going to create a huge amount of resistance from your brain.  just tell (promise) yourself you will work for 5 minutes on it, each day, and stick with that.  you'll often find that once you get started you can work for longer, but the point is you are only committing your brain to 5 minutes, which is much less stressfull.

The Getting Organized Experiment of 2006 / Re: who dares wins - my challenge to you.
« Last post by mouser on October 01, 2006, 08:34 AM »
i think this challenge is SUPER important, and i've decided in my mind this is a CRITICAL skill to master.
we need to be able to say, i'm going to work on this for at least 5 minutes each day.

there are no days where you can't find 5 minutes to spare - that means that there should be no excuse for not finding time for this - it's really just mental resistance.

so i suggest we start this again - starting from October 1st.  Choose a project you have been avoiding.  Commit to working on it AT LEAST 5 MINUTES PER DAY, every day, for the next 7 days.  make yourself a checklist with each day listed or use a calendar.

then find 5 minutes each day to work on it.  you don't have to do great work on it, you dont even have to do anything but sit down with the work in front of you and do nothing else but that.  just tell yourself you are going to think about it for 5 minutes.  get yourself a timer perhaps.  but just do it. even if it means sitting still in front of a blank peice of paper for 5 minutes.
