LifeRemix pal Chanpory of LifeClever has a great post on how to make more time in your work day… for yourself. Because let’s be honest: We’re going to make that time whether it’s on the schedule or not.
According to Neil Fiore and 30 years of research, procrastination isn’t the result of laziness. Rather, procrastination is a symptom, a way of coping with deep psychological self-criticism and fear. It’s because we’re taught to believe that working is good and playing is bad. To reverse this unhealthy model, Neil proposes a tool: the Unschedule.
At it’s core, unscheduling is really just scheduling the fun stuff you want to do throughout the day, and working around it.
I wrote a post around a year ago that touches on the concept of planning breaks. I’d even go to say that this makes a person more productive. There’s always going to be too much to do at work. By not hating yourself or your job at the end of the day, productivity increases.
