The fact is that when I live too much in the present I tend to miss appointments :P
Something typical that happens to me is that I plan an afternoon more or less this way:
- lunch
- work a bit on project for an hour
- get ready and go out with friends for 2-3 hours
- get back home and finish the project by night
- start the new project
And then I end up being around with the friends till early morning the next day... thereby having double work on the project!
How do I detach myself from the immersion at the right time?
How do I "wake up" from the immersion so that I can stick to my schedule without procrastinating?
