Another Slow Week

September 19

I had another slow week. I was surprised to realize that it's been at least five days since I uploaded my last article here. The days of the week have come and gone like a flash. I don't know what I have done in the past five days.

It's Sunday afternoon. Finally, I have recovered from the side effect of the cetirizine that I took last night. I slept most of the day earlier.


Hello, dearest readers. I have so many things that I would like to write about. But for this post, I just to make it clear in my head what happened in the last five days. As I write this, I will try to recall what had I been doing, and what would I do to avoid something like this. Not knowing what happened in the past few days. Had I merely been too lazy to do anything? Or I was preoccupied with something else?


What I have accomplished and not

The only article that I have posted in the last 7 days is "Gold or Wisdom, Which Will You Choose?". And this is only my second article for this week! I did not fare better in noisecash. I have uploaded only about two posts per day and have not interacted that much with the other users.

This means I will have only 2 out of 5 articles for this week for readcash and zero articles for publish0x. As for noise. I planned to upload at least 4 content per day!

What Happened?

I may had been preoccupied by my work as a part-time teacher. Plus I accepted an online tutorial last week, but we only had three sessions last week. But I spent some considerable time making the presentations plus the test questions.

But that's only half of it.

Lack of Planning

I guess this is the result of not planning my work for this week. Recently, I am trying out the Zoho Notebook app as my substitute for Evernote, but I was not able to make a plan for this week. I was on a free play or something like that. No definite plans... no plan of work. I just did what I needed to do that day for my class. Most of my spare time seemed to have been wasted. Time which I could have spent on writing and creating short posts for noise.cash

Not A Total Loss

I may not have been productive online this week, but it was not a total loss. I earned some extra cash from my tutorial which was sent directly to my GCash. But I know I could have been more active online as well.

Lesson Learned!

This is not a new lesson to me. But this is something that I never wrote down... thus I kept doing the wrong things again and again. If you don't plan your day, most of your time will go to waste. Planning or making a to-do list helps you focus on the things that need to be done.

Planning could help you eliminate distractions. (Hmm... I was even planning to make an article for this writing prompt).

Plan of Action

(9:20 PM) My talking alarm just blared out that I need to make my to-do list for tomorrow. Somehow I have been ignoring this daily reminder. But I guess hearing it every night is now taking its effect on me.

So ... yeah, that's what I need to do. Every night I need to update my to-do list for the following day.

And every Sunday evening... (which is tonight), I must set my weekly goal.

Ah... But I have to stay up late tonight then.

And I hope ... no... not hope... I will do what I can to be as productive as I can in the remaining days of September.

Thanks for reading.

True often times with me, my day job usually takes much of my time and energy. Though, I always try to write one article every other day, however, sometimes when I get so tired from work, I ended up sleeping, the article half done must be at least completed the next day,haha!

I am like you sir, if i don't write down what i needed to do, my scatter brain would go on auto pilot checking different things without a proper goal

Making a list works best for me. A day without a list seems to be a day with no direction and I just keep on scanning things and looking on my phone. Also focus is needed. Having a list but with much distractions, the plans will not be turn into actions.

I also like to plan and write down tasks. But I realized that it causes stress later when I can't do what I had written down. I have decided to take things easy because I don't want stress in my life. Now I write down fewer tasks and get them all done. It works for me to do it that way. Interesting to read your article.

You were still productive since you've done something and earned. I've been planning to write a to-do list but I failed to do it. It's all up on my mind only.

thanks... Well, I had some of the things that I need to do in my mind. But the prioritization and focus is quite different if I had them on a list... or else they will just get lost. :D
