New bookofjoe anti-procrastination tool flops (kinda sorta)

So I'd been putting off for three days an expedited file review that would require at most an hour of my time.

Then the penny dropped and I thought, I know, I'll put on my running watch (above) and set the alarm for five minutes from now, then reset it every five minutes when it goes off while I'm laying there all comfy reading other stuff (story of my life).

That went on for about an hour or so, maybe ten cycles of stupidity, until I finally got my lazy butt off the couch and gathered the file materials for review.

Then I got sidetracked doing this and that (paying a bill, cleaning out my coffee grinder, you know the drill) and about a half hour elapsed until I finally began the file review, which itself was kept moving along nicely with my previously-described anti-procrastination tool which, as it turns out, performs much better keeping me on task than getting me started, the real bugaboo.

In any event, the review is done and the use of the running alarm watch failed.

Didn't it?

I mean, it was supposed to move me direct from the couch to the file but it didn't, what with my digressive transgressions.

On the other hand, I did do what I needed to do, even if it wasn't as ideal and direct a course to completion as I'd have liked.

So maybe the jury's still out on this one.

Best give it another go soon, then I'll report back.

Meanwhile, no reason you shouldn't give it a whirl.

If it fails, I will cheerfully refund every penny you paid for this advice.

Because that's the bookofjoe way.
