Simple Method to Stop Procrastinating
I decided to write about procrastination because i’m very interested in this topic and I believe that everyone have or will encounter this problem at least once in his life whether it’s in the educational phase or in his professional life, especially entrepreneurs and freelancers. Today I have stumbled upon a thread in a forum in which a guy shared his experience with procrastination and how he managed and still managing to stop this bad habit or at least decrease the amount of minutes wasted throughout the day. He came with an amazing method which I will explain right now.
The Simple Method
The idea is to use a Chess Clock, which has two timers one next to the other that count the duration spent by each player (image bellow). You label one clock "Procrastinating" and the other "Productive". You guessed it, when surfing the web or doing anything that is just wasting time you iht the procrastinating side, and when working you hit the productive side. Simple and efficient. Not only you see the accumulation of time spent or wasted, but also the slapping of the big mechanical buttons would make you feel good, and, somehow, in control !Shop on Amazon |
Save Your Time
Next step is to save the data. Which data ? Well the records of your time spent or wasted in a spreadsheet. You can use Excel if you have it. Or else, if you prefer doing this on phone or tablet or both, you can use Google Sheets, which I personally prefer as it I can access the spreadsheet anytime and anywhere I want. Additionally, this will help you keep track of your wasted time and spot when you're the most productive as well as what sucks your time the most then act upon it and take control over your habits to increase productivity.Why not using an App to track time
Using technology nowadays is like getting inside a mall, you can easily be distracted by other items, things, chats...etc when you enter to it. So the answer is now, as it will easily get you to do something else and forget about why you took your device. I'm getting more and more attracted by one purpose devices. It really helps being productive.Summary

The Return of the Birkenstocks
The fashion trend return of Birkenstock was unexpected, don't know who in the fashion industry was behind the first push that triggers the this new wave which is continuing right now. No doubt the release of the very expensive silver Birkenstock sandals by Givenchy was a clear sign of the of this luxurious brand approval of its comeback. As this blog’s name, Birkenstock is definitely a quality focused brand, as it have, let’s say “engineered” a footbed in a way that makes it comfortable for the foot and suitable for long walking sessions. While some accuse them for being ugly, I personally find them very nice looking. Others, with which again I don’t agree with, say that they are girly sandals; I strongly think that the Birkenstock Arizona sandals gives an impression of virility especially the Oiled Leather uppers ones. Birkenstock have a large variety of footwear styles that appeals to many and which have a good potential to have a similar success to the iconic Arizona sandals.Birkenstock Sandals
The German company doesn't produce sandals only, but they are definitely their great success. They have managed to create a nice variety of sandals that are as iconic as their original one : Arizona. Two stripes, three stripes, thongs and back strap are styles designed by Birkenstock. See video down here.Birkenstock Clogs
The Birkenstock Boston is another great achievement of the German company. They have produced them based on the same natural cork footbed as their footwear predecessors.The Iconic Birkenstock Arizona
No doubt this is the most popular footwear in the Birkenstock Store. The two straps sandals are continuing to be sold out in millions all over the world, and the comfortable experience of it pushes more the longevity of this trend.Simple Rustic Colorful Interior Design
The nice combination of over saturated colors in interior design is not an easy task especially with rustic elements. This is exactly what Luis Galliussi has successfully achieved in his house. He named this project " Can Kaki", which is a great combination of colorful textiles and natural rustic furniture surrounded by white washed walls.Greatest Architecture Works Painted by Federico Babina
Federico Babina captured by painting in few simple lines, the essence of 18 of the Famous architectural design works, by Le Corbusier, Tadao Ando, MVRDV, Rem Koolhaas and others, as a part of a study of simplification yet without losing the identity by which these architectural masterpieces are recognizable, all in a great mix of abstract and doodle-way art.
