Comfort 2 Growth

C2GC Update

It has been 2 full weeks of the Early Rising Challenge. I am very happy with my ability to stick to this challenge; I have been getting up with no problems almost everyday and do not have to nap much.

Waking up early almost doubles my productivity hours from my previous schedule of waking up between 10am-12pm. The increase in hours allows me time to work on this blog, exercise, study and prepare a delicious breakfast.

I wish I was having the same success with the C2GC of Ending Information Addiction. My ability to completely cut out internet surf time and non-essential information updates has improved,  but not nearly to the level I was hoping. It is encouraging that I have made forward progress, now I just need to push harder.

The problem lies when I have short spans of time between my next scheduled actions. If I have 15 or 30 minutes to kill before my next action item, it is very easy and gratifying to surf web. My goal is to use those free moments as productivity bursts.

These 15-30 minute productivity bursts will constitute reading a book, cleaning/organizing my living space, making a phone call to a neglected friend or whatever short-task I can find.

Hopefully these productivity bursts will be the key to furthering my recovery from information addiction.
