It’s time to do another 30 days challenge, this time with a focus on productivity.
For the next 30 days I will not be allowed to access internet before 9 am and after 8pm. This should give me enough freedom in the morning (I wake up at 5 most days), but will prevent me from procrastinating in the evening.
I figured that internet is perhaps the biggest obstacle in my productivity, and I want to fix it. It’s not easy as a part of me still likes to check the latest news online or check blog comments multiple times per day.
I think I’m doing good by checking emails only 2 or 3 times per day, but that’s not enough. My goal is to eventually create a window of 5-6 hours per day where I have absolutely no distractions.
My plan is to make a simple script that automatically enables internet connection from 9am to 8pm, so I don’t have excuses.
Eventually I want to take the extra mile and limit accessibility to some websites only for one hour per day (say between 7pm and 8pm), but I’ll look into this next week.
I will post an update as soon as I have something useful to show for blocking internet access.
P.S. I’m going offline now so I’ll reply to comments tomorrow.
