My usual day starts like this, my wife wakes me to say goodbye, as she goes to work. At this point, I will decide to wake up or go back to sleep. OK, most of the time, I grab my phone and check my emails, Facebook, Intasgram, Gmail, and of course Megapolis. Have to make sure my city is getting bigger and that if I got any important emails. Now important can mean, entertainment business or just a coupon to Barnes & Noble. Finally, the tough decision hits me, what to have for breakfast. It may take time to decide, but I will always look for the easies thing to make. I know how to cook, but I would rather spend more time watching TV or on the computer, so this means Bagel, cereal, or left overs. Now I have gotten my lazy ass up and I have to something to eat. Its time to figure out what I'm doing that day. The night before I have already come up with a great plan of cleaning, writing, job hunting, and answering emails. So this should be a simple thing, I have it all mapped out. Then I turn on the computer and all those plan go to shit. I open up Facebook and split the screen, so I can watch Netflix and be online. Of course, with most of my family watching Netflix, I never know what I can watch. But I always have a backup plan for movies. That not the point, My chance to focus and start writing. I open the word program and begin my staring process to find the idea in my mind. After about 5 minutes, I get bored and go back to looking online for stuff. Yes, I know, what people think, Porn. lol. But I actually look at movies and basketball. Won't lie, I do spend some of my day going through porn site to find something that will excite me. But if I can't find anything with a good erotic/ ridiculous storyline, then I will give up and back to Facebook. By this time I have been online for about 4 hours and I'm hungry. Here we go again, should I make a delicious meal or throw something in the microwave. Microwave it is. And I wonder why my belly is becoming a barrier from me from reaching my shoes. OK, so I dragged myself from the computer and got myself something to eat. Back to the PC. Time to get focus and work. Oh wait, basketball news on my email, must find out what they are talking about. Distracted. Shake it off. Time for work. Get the script written. Have to get me ideas out their. On paper, metaphorically. But the movie I'm watching get interesting, I lose focus. Oh no. Its 2pm, now do I try to write or do I clean. Those dam dishes have been in the sink for a week. And if I want to make dinner, I have to wash the pans. Dam it. My wife will be off work at 5, so I could wait till 4, wash the dishes and make dinner quickly. OR can I convince her to pick up dinner on her way home. Shouldn't eat junk food. But face it, I'm going to eat those nuggets that are made of fake chicken meat. They taste so good. No, I try to make myself get away from the computer and make dinner. But wait, I just got an email, I must check it. This is what I do every day. I call it The Battle to be Productive. My daily struggle. On a good day, I apply for some jobs, write, clean, and return emails. That's a great day for me. OK, how do I change the routine of unproductivety. Well, I could just do it. That won't work. Maybe I need a muse or motivation. What can motivate me, Money, People, or Career Goals. Let face it, none of those have worked. Each day I must find my focus and hold on to it. No Distractions!!! Write, apply, and clean. Repeat. Each of us must face are demons and overcome are obstacles. Because if you want your dreams to come true, you must fight to stay focused, kick the shit out of those distractions and go after it. Now get off your lazy ass and Go for it. Stay strong and Good Luck!!
