It’s tough to predict, but most of us have that ability. You can’t keep thinking about it and then suddenly think about it for a long time. In the past few months, I’ve been watching my social media profile, which has a video of me being in front of a giant screen while my two kids were playing games with each other.
I was at the gym today and I looked at my phone and I saw a video of me playing basketball with my son. I thought to myself, “Wow, I’m really tired.” A few minutes later I realized that I had been thinking about it for a couple of days. I go to bed at night and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do each day. I have no idea what I’m expected to do.
If you are like me, and your internet connection is spotty and unreliable, you might have been thinking of the next time you go to bed and simply go to bed. I know it may sound crazy but I like the idea of setting a few simple goals if I can find that elusive balance. I also find the idea of setting goals to be very motivating.
Every time I do the “I’ll do it” thing, I like the idea of making sure my friends and my family can stay in touch. I will never be able to do my homework but I will probably be able to watch all of the movies and play all of the video games I want to do.
I know, I know. Setting goals is great. But what I find is that setting them so early in the morning can make it difficult to stick to them. I’m getting ready to go to bed with my computer and I know I’ll be working on it for a while but I’m just trying to do my chores and getting ready for bed. It’s just that I don’t want to be working all night and I just want to get up and go to bed.
For me, setting goals at the beginning of the day is the same as setting them at the end. I’m putting in the effort to create a certain number of hours of work that I can focus on and so that effort is being met. I’m still setting goals and I’m still working.
I think I need to use my time to work on the game, so I’m going to go watch the show with Ill. I’m going to watch the game as I watch it and then I’ll see if Ill make any progress or if I’m on the wrong track. I’ll check back to see what Ill is doing, then Ill will go back and watch it again.
This is sort of a catch-all for the times I just didn’t do anything with the time I had. I was making plans, I was doing research, I was trying to be productive, I was reading books. All those things I did in that time were probably going to help make me more productive, but I didn’t do them. I didn’t have the drive to work on a business or a project or a hobby. I guess that’s one reason I got into gaming.
The point is, when you know you can’t do something, you just do it anyway. It’s when you’re trying to do something so that you can do it and get a checkmark on the “work” column that you need to make the effort and get the checkmark. It’s not like you really need to be productive if you can’t be. It’s just like it’s the same for me when I get around to playing the latest game.
Youre the type of person that gets really mad at you when it comes to you having a game for the living day.
