Having goals is a great thing. It forces focus. It makes sure that I do things efficiently.
It makes the time more valuable.
Being too focused can also have negative effects. One of which is a narrow point of view of life.
After vacation, things changed. I am reevaluating how I do things. It really helps to step out and get a different focus.
One of the changes that I did was to get rid of wasting time in the morning before taking a shower. It used to take me 15-20 minutes of reading time. Second thing I’m doing is reading less Polish news. I already read too much. It makes me too focused on reading the latest. For what? I need to tune out a bit. Step outside. I will learn what’s important from twitter.
I want to get back to reading poetry, fiction, non-technical material. Not only self-help, but other works as well. I do have some time on a weekend. I should utilize it effectively. Working differently.
