It is so easy to get caught up in a particular day’s activities. I know I do. This may seem like a big deal but to me it is very easy. By that I mean I have to stop and think about what I am doing, I have to check my phone to see if I have time for a nap, I have to make sure I am not driving when I should be relaxing. It is all so simple. It takes some mental discipline to stay focused.

Most of the time when we do this, we just stop for a minute or two, but it’s easy to get caught up in a day’s worth of activities. I know I do.
I am not talking about just a few minutes to yourself, I am talking about the entire day. I have to stop and think about what I am doing, I have to check my phone to see if I have time for a nap, I have to make sure I am not driving when I should be relaxing. It is all so simple.

If we’re going to do this, we should do it right. It is so easy to get caught up in all of our activities, so I can understand why people don’t keep themselves from all of the things they might normally do. But I think that’s the problem. The problem is that we tend to get caught up in our activities of doing something. And we start thinking that we need to finish that thing that we are doing.
It’s not always easy to just stop when you have an assignment. You need to think about what you are doing. If you are having an intense conversation with your wife, you might need to make a decision about how long it will take before you finish talking. You might find that you cant stop thinking about what you are doing. It might be that you need to take some time to think about something that you are doing.
If you are like me, you work way too much and you want to take some more time. I work too much too, and I am always so tired because I keep on doing that thing that I can’t stop doing. I need to take a break, take a week, or even a month. When I take a break I find that I take my mind off of that thing for just a little bit. That is when I think about something else.
As I said in some of my previous posts, I also have a habit of putting off the work I need to do because I think it is taking too much of my time. I think it is because I have a habit of doing things the wrong way. This habit is called “chunking”. It usually starts with a big task and I end up doing it in smaller chunks, so that I don’t overdo it.
We are going to be doing some chunking as we learn more about the game. First, we are going to have to learn how to make a door for killing Visionaries. Then, we are going to be doing a little bit of hacking and we are going to need to make the doors that allow us to take Visionaries out of their bodies.
When you do something the wrong way, you are doing it wrong. It is a very common mistake to try and get everything done in a day or two. I like to start doing chunks or small tasks in chunks because it is a way for me to get a good sense of how things work so I can learn faster.
