arfink Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 And I thought my filing system was bad... :eek: This photo is from a series about local bureaucracy, in which the photographers simply walked into various government agencies around the world and took a photo of the bureaucrat behind the desk. Very simple but cool photos. :) http://www.janbanning.com/gallery/bureaucratics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Oh my heavens! What a nice foursome to find in my Phatmail.... I am getting really sick of the horrible avatars. :( This is where I was yesterday. Today I seem to be able to channel my inner Jack Nicholson. Yup, there are days when I feel as nuts as this guy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j2F4VcBmeo Must be fun to unleash that on the screen sometimes..... not often... but there are days when lines get crossed... Yeah. And THAT is one heck of a movie! I also made this today. http://weaselsgonarf.blogspot.com/2013/03/daily-draw-mug.html picture on the PM Thread didn't load, but loved the tea pix on your daily draw. Awwww.... I've been finding I have a very hard time keeping my personal projects and goals on track, especially as I work from home. Work time bleeds into personal time, which results in a whole lot of wasted time and not a whole lot of work or personal stuff getting done. The continual conflict between the two is pretty draining. So here are ideas I am going to implement on myself:- Getting up earlier. One of the big issues I have is that living at home with the rest of the family means I am on their schedule for many things, including meals, chores, and the general noise and chaos a house of 10 people entails. However, the house is mostly empty between the hours of 7:30 AM and 3PM. I am currently getting up at 9:30 AM every day, and staying up until 1-2 AM. I plan to move wakeup time to 7:30 or 8 AM to take advantage of an extra hour of quiet, and moving bedtime up accordingly.- Set a timer. I have found that certain tasks, such as keeping my workplace clean, work best if I simply set myself a 15 minute timer, do the task until the timer is done, and then walk away. Otherwise I look up 2 hours later to find a clean room but have done nothing on the important stuff. If I can make a dedicated effort to do 15 minutes a day my space will be just as nice as doing a marathon cleanup once a month.- Plan the day. I need a daily horarium I think. It would be helpful anyway. :)- Radio Silence. I have found from previous experiments that working on the computer without an internet connection can actually be extremely beneficial to me. The stuff I can accomplish in 2 hours without any internet rivals what I could do in an 8 hour period in which I can freely have access to this place. Gee, wonder why. :P However, given how dependent I am on the internet, i think I'll plan on having a few hours of each day be internet-free rather than doing whole days at a time, and see how that helps. AnneLine is giggling. And really trying HARD not to say the obvious. : rotfl: : rotfl: : rotfl: ! If no one else does it for me, I may succumb to temptation at a later time..... more-or-less behaving myself right now.... I have found a composer I really like: Joe Hisaishi. AnneLine may recognize this sound. He's the guy who did the soundtrack to two of my favorite movies, My Neighbor Totoro and Porco Rosso. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AQRbAMb6LbI oooh... will have to check that out....did like some of those movies.... And I thought my filing system was bad... :eek: This photo is from a series about local bureaucracy, in which the photographers simply walked into various government agencies around the world and took a photo of the bureaucrat behind the desk. Very simple but cool photos. :) http://www.janbanning.com/gallery/bureaucratics/ Makes my filing look downright need and organized. Thanks, I needed that..... Gotta go to work on something now... .for 15 mins or so... Edited March 8, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfink Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 ^^ And you know what, after I made my breakfast, I kinda looked at it on the plate and did about the same face. Waking up 2 hours earlier = amazing breakfast. I think I just found the motivation to get up in the morning. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
