Tricking myself

Sometimes it's helpful to trick myself. For example, for the last few weeks I've been working two part time jobs. I like the work, it's interesting and isn't too much to do in a week or anything. However, it was taking me FOREVER to get the work done. I would "work" all day (not do anything fun), but really only get 2-3 hours of billable work done. Fortunately, this last week I (finally) met my supervisor for my internship and was able to get a desk / computer in the office, which really helps me be productive because I can just go there and get things done.

I then went and set a schedule with him so that I can go in early three days a week, stay until the early afternoon, and be DONE. Honestly, they probably wouldn't care if I didn't come in during those hours...when I proposed the time he was like "sure, whatever." But I don't want to test that; as long as I think that it really matters that I'm there that early and stay those hours I will get it done during that time and have so much more free time this summer.

So, yeah. Sometimes it's helpful to trick myself.
