I'm experimenting with different ways of getting and keeping myself on-task for things. Admittedly, I spend more time here than I should- Which means I look to these forums before I look at any of to-do activities and what not. If I stop coming here, I tend to fill my time with other not-quite-work activities, so I want to use this thread to experiment with synergizing my goals with my activities... Ok.
So I've mentioned elsewhere that making promises gets me more inclined to do things rather than procrastinate. I could do that outside of these forums, but the people I'd be promising to don't really have the same effect. I mean I won't believe that I'm really making them a promise, because I don't think they will remotely care one way or the other. Just like promising myself.
I promise my next post on this thread, along with the non-reply posts will outline what I need to do with my project, and/or pick out at least one task to do with it for the day. I also promise to make these posts every day I'm not absent from the computer for the entirety of the day.
