After getting severely depressed in thinking that I was being lazy and not getting enough done in a day, I decided to do something about it. I’m trying something new with my “to do” list…a new process. I’m assigning units of time to everything. When I looked over the previous week’s to do lists, I realized that I was scheduling in excess of 18 hours of work a day. That’s a bit excessive. So, I decided to start with a 10 hour work day. Then, I wrote down all of the things I wanted to accomplish in that day and prioritized them. Then I assigned times to those tasks. Anything over 10 hours would be relegated to the next day. I think it’s working. I don’t feel so lazy anymore when all of the items on my day’s to do list are ticked off.
Yesterday, I did mostly producer stuff. I sent off the investor contracts to someone who is interested in one share. She also requested that I send her the funding pack and she’ll forward it on to some friends. So, I spent a few hours updating the pack. She’s a good friend of mine, so she’s also sending me some new socks.
I got word back from some people in Japan I had contacted regarding getting the TC story published (a la the Guerilla diaries of Pi director Darren Aronovsky). They were encouraging, and there were few hot leads, which I will follow up in the next few days.
Going into Orebro this weekend to do some research on the broadband connection at Orebro University. There I can research getting funding for the website.
Work becomes your life in Japan. Your life is work…there is no difference. There are hobbies…the Japanese take hobbies seriously. They only do one hobby and the get all the gear and the spare no expense. There’s a word in Japanese…Otaku…and it means something like mad obsessive. And they use it to describe people who become completely obsessed with their hobby.
