Today I am writing about all the stuff that I think I have done wrong in the past and that I need to learn from:

(1)Skewed Prioritizing/Maxi-Stessfulness
PROBLEM This one has to do with the fact that I don't allow my fellow comrades, aka at work, or friends, to know in advance about my plans, availability and future moves.
ACTIONPLAN This has to do with planning ahead. Practically this means that I have to set milestones in my calendar and add to them a cautionary deadline for cancellation or rescheduling so I don't affect other peoples work.

(2)Anxious Buying
PROBLEM I find myself home alone and instead of finding an activity to do I distract myself by buying stuff on the internet which is one-click away.
ACTIONPLAN I think this is a difficult one. This means I have to occupy myself with something that I enjoy doing. Something that I can relate to. I need to stay away from my computer, and think about why I am worried or anxious and try to do something to amend these feelings.

(3)Anxious Eating
PROBLEM Instead of focusing on what is producing me anxiety and focus on solving this issue, I eat to forget about the issue and redirect my feelings into food.
ACTIONPLAN Similarly to the previous entry, this has to do with coping well with stress and anxiety. I think this means I need to get away from what makes me eat, and do/think about something different. Drinking a glass of water also helps to realise whether you are genuinely hungry, or just anxious.

(4)Mistaking Anxiety with Hunger
PROBLEM Sometimes I get home, or during the day, and I feel like my stomach is making noises, I feel tired and I feel like what my body needs is to eat to feel better.
ACTIONPLAN Similarly to the previous entry, this has to do with coping well with stress and anxiety. I think this means I need to get away from what makes me eat, and do/think about something different. Drinking a glass of water also helps to realise whether you are genuinely hungry, or just anxious.

(5)Mistaking Sleepiness with Hunger
PROBLEM Sometimes I get home terribly tired, and I seat on the dinning table to continue working after work. To do this I eat thinking that I am tired because I haven't eaten enough during the day(which is also probably true)
ACTIONPLAN Drinking a glass of water also helps to realise whether you are genuinely hungry, or just anxious. To discern sleepiness with hunger I can watch a film if its early, or just go to sleep. This should solve the issue.

(6)Watching Porn to dissipate Anxiety
PROBLEM This also happens when I have no free time, and I seat in my room to contemplate things that many times I find completely gruesome, disproportionate of aberrant. I am not against pron in principle, but now that I have a loved one I realise what I look for in those moments is some empathy, affection and love. I see my boyfriend everywhere. He is not in the Porn.
ACTIONPLAN This is fairly simple. It has to do with staying away from the computer to stop myself doing things that I don't want to do. This involves doing other things, like watering the plants.

(7)Hypercreativity
PROBLEM This is when I initiate too many projects to have a feeling of progress, or professional fulfillment. Sometimes I get involved in too many things and I forget to enjoy what I am doing. Instead of enjoying what I do and prioritise what is important for me.
ACTIONPLAN This is a relatively simple one. To stop this I need to make sure I prioritise what is most pressing. I can do this by setting deadlines to projects, and avoiding clashes. If this happens I need to make sure I edit out things that I can commit to. Doing too many things, and being inconsistent, or not finishing them can affect the quality of my work.

(8)Creative Detouring
PROBLEM This is a tricky one. This has to do with the moments when I am working on something specific that I have to do, but I start to delve deeper and deeper into the specificities of that subject/object that I am dealing with, forgetting about that I had to immediately do. I am aware of this, and it delays other people, and I forget about the main objectives of work, which induces stress into my work routine.
ACTIONPLAN This also has to do with refocusing, and making sure I prioritise the task that is at hand. If the brief says find a new door design, I should keep the focus perimeters close to the subject, rather than trying to decipher the whole history of the door. This can be tackled by setting timescales for research, development and completion, which need to be updated accordingly in a timetable.

(9)Non-editing of meetings
PROBLEM Trying to please everyone single person I know the same day, at the same time.
ACTIONPLAN This one also has to do with editing out. I need to make sure I note down my commitments and inform people in advantage with clashes. If any of this occurs I need to prioritise one of the meetings to make sure I can attend with proper preparation and material. This also has to do with proper scheduling.
