Tired of working long hours and always running to catch up, Lavanya Mohan tore herself off Twitter and went looking for productivity hacks
I used to have the most predictable work day routine. I’d check in at office around 10am, spend half an hour going through my email, check Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, read several random links, and by the time I settled in with the day’s tasks, it would be past noon. At 2pm, I’d break for lunch, and by that I mean eating with YouTube on, and once that was done, I’d spend some time window-shopping online. After burning another couple of hours this way, I’d panic about how I hadn’t gotten anything done, and then stay at work till 8pm, kicking myself for prolonging my day when I could’ve left two hours earlier. I’d promise myself that tomorrow would be different, only it never was.
It wasn’t for want of trying. I downloaded all the to-do apps my iPhone could handle; I bought planners; I even bought a giant Post-It board for my office, but nothing worked. The apps were deleted to clear up memory, the planners remained blank after a week, the giant Post-It board was full of doodles, and I continued to be stuck in this seemingly infinite loop of procrastination.
