Written: <b>421<\/b>.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.15em;\">Two years ago, in July, I had a challenge. Don&#039;t put anything off for a whole month. Because after my friend Jurgita&#039;s advice, I thought it was a brilliant idea! No time wasted if I start all the work the moment I can!<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/laikas-internete\/\">Now I have realized that there is a smarter way: blocking.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2>But here&#039;s what I experienced during that strange and failed month of July.<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 1 &#8211; 2 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>So far, following the rules has been successful. It&#039;s true, sometimes I deviate from the schedule: I look at videos on YouTube or photos in my notebook and listen for the signal that the break is over, and sometimes I work too long without a break. But it&#039;s getting easier to spot your procrastination.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 3 &#8211; 4 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>I have a problem - I work too much and I don&#039;t rest enough. That is, my head is turned towards the end of the day, and I have no leisure activities (except for the fact that I am already going to the city for the fifth night in a row <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/p\/default.aspx?guid=720f6a9c-70a3-4118-b9b6-b5e19ad95502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search for Geocaching treasures<\/a> or for a walk anyway), so I work even more.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>As my friend Tauras observed, could reworking be at risk?<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 5 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Still the same. Not procrastinating is average. I&#039;ve taped a &quot;get out of bed&quot; reminder to my bed so I don&#039;t stay up late in the morning, but it hardly helps. I still manage to wake up 3 times and never fall asleep.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 6 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>This is where change stalls \u2013 when the work being done is not seamless. An example of this would be my blog server change today, where 80% consisted of waiting for files to load or the programs magic to work, 10% consisted of wondering why something wasn&#039;t working, and only the remaining 10% of actually doing it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>I guess this kind of problem can also arise when working as a salesperson in a store, a night watchman or a similar profession. In such jobs, it is difficult to maintain the work-rest rhythm, because it does not depend on you, the tension flows are controlled by the environment.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>I guess I should try a new system, where I would limit not only the time of rest, but also the time of work - I wonder what will come of it?<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 7 &#8211; 12 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Nothing changes. I forgot to limit work.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 13 &#8211; 20 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Unfortunately, I spent this week in bed. A zero work, zero management emergency system. A nasty disease, how rare. Work, immune system, work! It was not for nothing that I fed you lemons...<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 21 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>First day after illness. I would think that after an illness. In the middle of the day, I remembered the challenge and rushed to follow the instructions of the watch. The effect - I seem to have done more than I would have done watching kitten videos on YouTube.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>(That&#039;s what I did for the first half of the day before I realized it. Why are cats so afraid of cucumbers!?)<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 22 &#8211; 30 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Nothing special happened these days. I never tried to somehow encourage myself more to stick to the schedule, I watched myself less and less. Indeed, as far as I can see now, the challenge was not very useful. Unfortunately<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>\/ 31 \/<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Today I traveled to Turkey and was preparing for a new month of travel.
