I am reading the "4 Hour Workweek" right now and an important law in the book is "Parkinson's Law" I just checked the Wikipedia page and the link to "Student Syndrome" is Procrastination aka taking as much time to do something as is possible 
I have been trying to beat the "Student Syndrome" by creating fake dead-lines, this is one of the strategies described in the book. This semester will end January the 28st 2008 and I have the following to-do :
This week (excluding Monday when I was "sick") I managed to do the following :
What I WILL accomplish next week is the following at a bare minimum :
If the Linux servers do not take to much time I will be able to finish even more. I feel confident that with some hard work I can finish more than that I have planned! Looking forward to next week and improving my productivity already!
I have been trying to beat the "Student Syndrome" by creating fake dead-lines, this is one of the strategies described in the book. This semester will end January the 28st 2008 and I have the following to-do :
- Installation of 3 Linux Server
- Finishing up 1 Project
- Learning PHP and doing a short test about this
- Take 3 tests (not much/no learning required)
- Retake 2 tests (I couldn't show up the first time those tests were taken)
- Understand Database Normalisation and take the test
This week (excluding Monday when I was "sick") I managed to do the following :
- Understand Normalization (2 Hours)
- Write Documentation about the Linux Servers (2 Hours)
- Learn PHP (this took me about 2 full days, ouch I bet I could have done it in 1 day and better than I did this time but I guess I will have to be happy with the results)
What I WILL accomplish next week is the following at a bare minimum :
- Finish 2 Linux Servers (FTP and SAMBA)
- Take those 3 tests
- Finish up the project
If the Linux servers do not take to much time I will be able to finish even more. I feel confident that with some hard work I can finish more than that I have planned! Looking forward to next week and improving my productivity already!
