Tuesday 5 July 2005

Another day at the office.. today started off with a lot of anxiety.. suddenly there seems to be a lot of things to do :p

Despite feeling anxious, I've got things under control. I'm thinking more about the manuscript rather than anything else. It's already the 5th of July and at this rate, will I be able to finish my novel by 30 September? I've gotta have the discipline. Not fulfilling this goal will bring me to a downward spiral. It's the first word of the first page that'll get everything started. Am I thinking too small? Or am I wearing too many hats? Maybe compartmentalising my hours of the day might help? I remember reading about "time block" when updating the PDM materials. Somehow it seems easier to do time blocks when you're doing a single project. It's a tad harder to do when you have a million things to accomplish.

Let's keep it simple, shall we? How to eat an elephant? One bite at a time. For my case, let's do it 1 day at a time. Break down the 24 hours into meaningful slots for me to accomplish my mini goals. 1 page a day, how about it?
