writing quickly, again

Another session of freewriting.

Unfortunately, I have some freewriting thoughts in my head that are not directly related to the actual paper that I need to write, or any of the actual papers that I need to write. The thoughts that are running through my head are about how I am falling into the wrong direction with regards to blocking off my writing time.

I could go into detail about all of the things that I've been doing that are wrong,  but… I changed my mind, so okay lets go into those things that I've been doing that are counterproductive to writing:
  • So I am not actually getting up in the morning. 
  • I am putting off writing sessions to do trivial things like computer games. 
  • I am putting family needs above writing needs. And that includes cases where the family needs themselves are trivial, they could wait 20 minutes for me to spend some time writing.
  • And honestly, I haven't been focusing on this artificial writing task.

On the positive side:
  • I have been able to do some of the writing tasks that need to get done which are not associated with the actual generation of a manuscript. By that I mean, that I have been able to spend some time on coding.
  • I have been able to spend some time developing the project that needs to be developed for the memorized project.
  •  In addition to that I have been able to do some work on editing Xiaofang's  paper.

So where does that leave me? I think that leaves me with going back to the rules. So,
  • I am going to try and spend a couple of minutes of non-writing time before I begin writing time with deep breathing/meditation for a couple of minutes.
  • I am going to elicit the support of the people in my family in working together so that I can have writing time and they will attempt to delay trivial interruptions to help me out with that.
  • I am going to do my best to put aside the distractive toys that are embedded within my electronic devices that I used to do my writing.
  • I am going to do my best to get to bed early. This will allow me to hopefully, wake up early
  • In addition, I will try to do some time in the evening that will take care of the family responsibilities and household chores that our mind do. I will work on doing those tasks as as Pomodoro activities and try and spend 15 minutes or 20 minutes doing one, take a short break and then begin another task until they are all completed.
  • I will recognize that some of the other tasks that are leading me down line of depression are beyond my control. 
  • There is no way that I can do anything at all about what my administrators' are doing on the specific tasks. 
  • Moreover, no amount of complaining or persuasion is really going to have any effect on them or change their mind. will
