The Stale Crustacean Of Monotonous Routine

Posted on 28 January, 2010 at 11:00am

I have always had trou­ble with keep­ing the eye-popping, adven­tur­ous thoughts of day-dreamt pseudo-affairs from creep­ing into my daily rou­tine and crum­bling pro­duc­tiv­ity to the ground. And hon­estly, every­one knows what that feels like. Being removed from the ordi­nary, coffee-sipping, office jar­gon, day-to-day schlamma lamma that no sin­gle per­son on earth is a fan of, is every­ones favorite part of the day.

It’s also when you get the least pro­duc­tive, least focused and most inspired.

Just a few days ago a friend intro­duced me to a task man­age­ment appli­ca­tion called Action Method. The appli­ca­tion, devel­oped by the behance net­work, not only looks awe­some but has pretty cool fea­tures and syncs with your iPhone.

And for a lit­tle while I was under the impres­sion it is com­pletely free and was too good to be true, but like most things, only for a lim­ited time. But the Action Method task man­age­ment soft­ware really got me think­ing about the direc­tion and pro­duc­tiv­ity of an aver­age work day, work time, and hours of energy spent focusing.

How often through­out the day do I, or you, find our­selves with our heads some­where else, imag­in­ing what ________ could, would or should be like? How much of that is wrong? Do some peo­ple do that more than others?
