Part 3 of Making Work Work for Me
The experiment is done.
I will continue to do what I need to do in order to get better.
But, what did I learn from this experiment?
Between the planning, doing, and development of systems, I have noticed there will always be distractions. I wanted to get so much more done, but with planned meetings, a loss of motivation, and putting a foundation for success in place, I noticed that I was still running around feeling lost. However, this awareness has given me more ideas to prepare myself for incidence like these. For instance:
-Generate multiple types or one comprehensive calendar that shows when projects are due, what events I have for the week, the time constraints of deadlines, and the projected amount of time I’m going to use on a project.

Research Series Week: Part 2 - Making Work Work for Me
We know how much work sucks, whether we want to admit it or not, we spend so much time there and results in being super tired when we finally get home. But, there is a way pass all of this, there is something we can do about this whole dilemma.
What I Learned from my Uncle
I was talking to my uncle a couple of months ago about how he gets so many things done at work. He told me that he doesn’t do much, he is the supervisor and has develop systems, templates, and whatever else anyone can think of that will help him not spend time doing the same shit over and over again. He laughed about my situation and told me that I need to do the same thing. I pushed it off and continued to do what I did.
So, my thing now is to spend as little time with the repetitive, mundane activities and task that I perform constantly. There are plenty, and should be easy with the paperwork-driven nature of my job. This type of work system isn’t going to change at all and what I have learned is that there isn’t a point in me changing the status quo, I have to just do what I can to make my work-life easier.

My Typical 9-5 Day!
My typical week. I am always fascinated of how people use there time during the week. 5 out of 7 days is spent at work and it does determine what we do after we clock out. So, I’m going to see how far this goes and hope to get more people involved in seeing what a typical work-week day is for them. Here’s mine:
Typical Monday - Friday
4:25 a.m. - Wake up. Usually tired as shit, but realize I get more personal things done during this time, than any part of the day.
