High Resolution Planning
I’ve studied procrastination in great detail and tried out many, many systems and techniques. Some I still use, many turned out to offer little help.
I recently purchased a device that has been useful to me. The jury is still out on whether it will last, but I’ve been using it for about two months by now and it’s been great so far. It’s a little $5 stamp, ordered from Ali Express. It forms a circle that represents the day.
So, with this thing, I sit down first thing every morning and make a plan. Because the graphic looks like a clock, I feel encouraged to decide which exact minutes to schedule a task (or a guilty pleasure) for, and how long it should last. Earlier, I had been trying out a site called “Crush Entropy” which is based on the same idea of detailed planning, but the thing that makes this different to me is the way it looks. I am a big consumer of notebooks, I always have been. I like the crisp feeling and though I typically end up transferring thoughts into a digital system, there is just something about paper that feels nice, similar to the way I irrationally value my vinyl records more than streaming the same music.
So, if you have a similar passion for notebooks and visual layouts as I do, maybe this is something for you to try.
