Whenever I return home, I always get struck by a incredible sense of laziness. For some reason, sitting in my room just suppresses any sort of productivity that I try to muster up. It's a bit frustrating. And I've also noticed that my mental health seems to diminish when I am not productive. I get stuck in a depressive spiral downwards when I am not doing anything useful, but I cannot do anything useful in my room.
Then I try to fill this empty feeling inside myself with useless things on the internet. Reddit, StumbleUpon, Facebook, etc. Combined with the mouse gestures program I have installed on my computer, procrastinating has never been faster or more easily done. I check the same webpages constantly throughout the day, devouring any new piece of information that I come across. This is why websites like Reddit or StumbleUpon are so addictive, they are a constant stream of distracting and counter-productive information.
I have devised a two-step plan to counter-act this problem of non-productivity and laziness. One is to create a daily checklist of things I need to accomplish. The list does not necessarily change from day-to-day, but is just there as a guideline to help me finish overarching tasks. Hopefully, I can train my mind to value the euphoric response triggered from checking off this list more than clicking on new Reddit links. (Not that I even click them, thanks to Hover Zoom)
Second, thanks to my laptop, I have the mobility and freedom to work from any part of my house. For example, just the other day, I was able to accomplish quite a lot just by working from my kitchen. And now that my house finally has WiFi, I will be able to utilize the internet as well.
Hopefully, this plan will not backfire.
On a side note, can anybody recommend me good webcomics?
