But, not as fast as I expected. Not just because of laziness this time though. My mother in law was in the hospital for a few weeks and then the daughter was having a baby, they have been with us for a couple of weeks so this has taken up quite a bit of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-circle-mask\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Habit-Loop-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"http:\/\/thinking.umwblogs.org\/2019\/02\/27\/the-psychology-of-forming-habits\/\" class=\"wp-image-1674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Habit-Loop-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Habit-Loop.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I am still planning on starting this properly I should be able to get back into a routine as life has returned to relative normality and I will have more time. I will need to tack my time outside of work to see what I am doing and how long it is taking. This is because I want to plan in my goals and time to complete them but to do that I think I need to try and get some structure in there. So I can form new habits that will carry me on through the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Power-of-Accountability-300x187.png\" alt=\"http:\/\/solopracticeuniversity.com\/2016\/07\/28\/why-you-need-an-accountability-partner\/\" class=\"wp-image-1675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Power-of-Accountability-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Power-of-Accountability.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of my journey, I asked a friend to help me by being an accountability partner and although this is a good idea and has been documented to work I don&#8217;t seem to be keeping it up. I set up a system to use WhatsApp with a weekly message but we are just not doing it properly. I may need to look at this and see if I can improve something to work better.  I need to keep my journal with me and use it more, otherwise whats the point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other problem I have is that I&#8217;m easily distracted, I pick up a tech magazine or have a conversation with a friend and then all I&#8217;m thinking about is that I want to relearn how to code as that is something I used to really enjoy (and hate sometimes) but again when I have too many goals on the go at once I tend to get none of them done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure what the answer is for me, I&#8217;m a work in progress. Let&#8217;s hope the next update I have a more positive message to give.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have started moving in the right direction.
