The 1st Offbrand Work Day
February 8th, 2010 | Published in Resolutions | 2 Comments
This is the 2nd post in a series about my “resolutions”
Resolution #2 “I Wanna Be More Structured”
So I can’t seem to find a job, and honestly haven’t been motivated to do much other than fill out resumes which isn’t helping when no one is hiring. So I am gonna work for myself.
Most of the getting started freelancing books and articles I have read talk about how important it is to have set hours and try to stick to a “work day”; so I am trying it.
Last night I created todays schedule:
- 9 am – Weighloss blog
- 10am - Make Blog tutorials
- 11am – Watch nettuts wordpress tuts
- 12 – Lunch
- 1pm – Clean Office
- – clean up Big Drive
- – clean up itunes
- 4 pm - Work Day Blog
- 5pm Clock out
This is what I actually did:
- 7am – Wokeup
- 8am – Watched Hulu
- 8:30am – Wrote the weightlossblog
- 9:30am - played Kdice (kdice.com)
- 10am - Made blog tutorial
- 11am – Left for the gym
- noon – Walmart (roamed aimlessly)
- 1pm – kdice
- 2pm – watched american dad on hulu/cleaned
- 4pm – started thinking about dinner
- 5pm – roamed aimlessly about the internet
- 5:30pm – worked on Offbrand Studios mockup
- 6pm – wife home/clocked out?
The first part of my day was mostly a success. I stayed mostly focused and got stuff done. If I can manage to leave the apartment and come back and not completely lose focus I might have some hope.
Everything takes time to perfect. The important thing is that you are making an effort.
You need to be more like your father he needs to get side tracked occasionally. Oh the other hand you are more like me, I am always on the side track. Sorry about that.
Love you MOM
