Sup.

So I've been recently noticing that when I sit down to work, I sit, but although I am very determined to work, I am willing to do quality work, I have the mindset of helping people, I am accomplishing little.

I am doing quality work. It's not "perfectionist" - but I am following my own rules of quality and fair consistency. I never distract myself. The quality of the work that I am doing is actually high - the websites are polished,

But... I am unhappy with how *much* I am actually accomplishing. Oftentimes I don't accomplish even a fraction of the work that I am doing, so I thought that there should be good wisdom that people have earned with sweat and blood.... And I do the work! I am like, determined, and actually get things done. But it's... I know that an ideal person would work faster. So I need a self-management wisdom.

I thought about, maybe there are books like The One Thing - I havent read it (yet) (can't the book be summarized in just one phrase?), that give you a way to manage yourself better. The kind of where you need to make a decision in the and then act on it. So far in my life the best wisdom has always come from books and other people and so I wanted to ask. Thanks guys!

Oh, and, sorry for my last posts... I've wronged the community a great deal... I am constantly getting destroyed by mood and productivity swings, and it keeps hurting me and I often can't function the way i am supposed to.. Sorry...
