Willpower Exercise - What Next?

I finally crashed and burned on yesterday’s Willpower Exercise this afternoon after completing six tasks out of Group 14. That means that I had completed 97 tasks in the order I had written them down. Notice that I completed the tasks, not just worked on them.

So what now?

Well, this is exactly what is supposed to happen. When the list gets too long to be comfortable, it crashes and I start again from the beginning, i.e. at a Group containing one task - which in this case is writing this blog post. 

My aim now will be to beat my previous score of 13. 

This is beginning to sound like some sort of computer game, isn’t it? Yes, and I’m hoping that it will be similarly compulsive. This is a game with positive real world results.

I’ll keep my scores posted:

1
2 (including a five mile walk)
3

etc.
