Something's wrong with me or personal time management problems
Two months ago I read a great topic “Personal Time Management” . I liked the ideas of the organization of my time described in it so much that I decided not to be lazy and read Gleb Arkhangelsky's book “Time Drive”.
Gleb's work inspired me even more, and, finally, I decided to gradually introduce the methods described in the book into my life.
The first chapter told me about how to properly organize your sleep, rest, etc., that is, something that is not related to work, but directly affects its effectiveness. No sooner said than done. I began to rest every hour and a half, go to bed at midnight, get up at 7 in the morning. “Great,” I thought, “it's time to move on.”
It was the turn of the second chapter. From it, I learned about how to eat elephants and frogs, and what are calendars, "Pinarik." As a responsible student, I drew for myself a “Pinarik” and wrote out on a separate sheet my frogs and pieces of elephants, which I must eat every day in order to devour the whole animal. I had three elephants: to restore my sporting form, learn English normally and study one new scientific discipline.
')
And I began to act. For a whole week I tried to eat all those pieces that I wrote out for myself. Every day I spent just fine and, at the end of the day, I noted in my “penik” that this day was not lived in vain.
But after a week something happened. I ate too much elephant meat, I just started to feel sick from it. I could no longer learn new English words, could not bring myself to run 5 km every day, I could not read 50 pages of a book on scientific discipline. As a result, in the “Pinarik” he began to replete with records of wasted time. A few days later, my sleep pattern was disrupted and I slipped to a more depressing state than it was before I started using the time management system.
In the end, I threw away the list of my elephants, let go of my frogs, tore up my “Pinarik” and ... I got better.
And now the question: Has any of the readers experienced something like this or is it just me so weak-willed?
