Pace yourself...
Aug. 30th, 2010 12:47 pmThis current project I'm working on is about to nail me. We marching to an end of September date and I can't keep up the pace. It'a pace I chose and I can pull back on the throttle and I need to. I slept like a log last night and feel like I could do it again right now.
Part of the problem is me - well, actually, all of the problem is me... but part of it is that I suck at taking breaks. I can get distracted by emails and Twitter and Buzz and I do. But, what I don't do is actually get up and move and do something else entirely for 10 or 15 minutes. I usually realize that I should and then go into 'one more minute, one more time, just let me do this one more thing...' mode and I end up never getting up. If I didn't have to pee now and again, my ass would never leave the chair.
I think I need to take 15 minute breaks where my ass literally leaves the chair and I think I need to quit earlier in the day. I can quit without really quitting and I should. I can stop coding (the stuff that really works my brain) earlier and leave the last couple of hours for answering questions and organizing and cleanup. Also, I do not need to work the 10 or 11 hours a day I've been working.
I think I'm going to start this today.
At least I do break for lunch most days and today was one. It was a goood lunch, thank you.
