I've long struggled with prioritizing and staying on task, but it's gotten worse as of late.

So here's a convoluted metaphor as a note to myself to not check socials first thing in the morning: the Attention Bus

I’d been feeling this too lately, but more of priority 4/5 vying for more time than they should compared to 1 or 2

Every morning I wake up and tell myself

“Don’t check the phone until noon”

*checks phone as I start work*

*barely get anything done*

*repeat*

Ah I know the feeling. I started tracking in analog my intended schedule vs what happened

“Shit, did I really food coma for an hour there? Did I really scroll the feed like a brainless ape for the last 30 minutes??”

Interesting! How detailed is the analog schedule?

Little experiment with higher intent is going well. Don’t even feel bad about my later afternoon food coma

Close to considering color coordination

15 min interval. I include the basic meetings and occasional intended work blocks on half the page

Then use the other half for the actuals. Trial ran it with just pen markings and it’s been pretty good so far

Primarily calling out my mindless scrolling time and other mindless activities

This is great!! I used RescueTime for over a decade, before Screen Time was even a thing, and it captured insights like this automatically in the background. It's (unsurprisingly) incompatible with iOS so I stopped using it altogether.

I might have to try this more analog, intentional approach!
