The habit of Editing

0920-1020

Meditate. I did this after I slept 8 hours and 20 minutes. I feel great to day due to long distance, in part, walking while I remained silent, mentally and physically. I then did larger quality work of editing in 2 hours of so.

Probably, I should have taken a short break of rest and started again, to see if could have managed to do large quality work in four hours.  And then rest or do something else for an hour or so and then repeat the process, thereby completing the usual 8 hour of work that the professional world work.

I have time, I will study the habits of successful authors and speakers and their work schedule.

1020-1100 prepare for work.

1100-1209 I did not speak out loud in the past hour. If I do so, then I am able to edit works better. I will report every 15 minutes to make sure I edit works while I am speaking out loud.

1209-1230 I did not edit out loud becoming busy editing.

12330-1245

Edit out loud. I did read out loud and I did a better job than the one that I did when I was silent.

Before I started work today, I was concerned that I was a little bit tired and that I may not be able to work long hours and yet do quality work. It turns out that was false. I have worked now for two hours straight and I still have apatite to do more work. I also remember saying to myself you have plenty of energy, discharge the energy fist before you work, that was incorrect too. I now placed that energy in work, and it is working.

1245-1308; I have finished two hours of working and I feel not desire to take a break.

1308-1530 Work on editing the book. I have taken fifteen minutes break and another ten minutes, I did not did much daydreamed. This completes more than 4 hours of work on editing the book.

1530-1800

This period I washed clothes, unplanned. I also cooked for myself. I have not yet habituated the weekly planning habit; otherwise I would have habituated it.

1800-2030

Took long distance walk. I was tired, but walked anyway. I should have rested and then taken less extensive walk. In any case, I was in an excellent state again.

2200-0000

I worked this period editing the work and then I noticed that I have been editing the incorrect file. My work is not entirely useless, but it appears so. I started to walk again and came home at 00000. It took two hours. During this time, I tried to write the daily report on Somalia and did some of it.

0000-0200

During this period, I wrote on Somalia, but mostly this was the worst period of the day. I just browsed sites. I said to myself several times, stop and sleep, but I continued anyway. It is for this reason that I decided to report to friends every time I am on the web so that I don't get lost to it.

I have spent 3.5 hours travelling. I have worked 6.5 hours. This is about ten hours. Spent another hour on meditation, that is about 11 hours. I have also spent close to 3 hours on chores, about 14 hours. Spent 1.5 hours on useless activities, 15.5 hours.  Spent another 30 minutes on work, making work 7 hours. 16 hours. Spent another 40 minutes on chores, making chores 4 hours, that is 17 hours.
