Target: 25 minutes + 20 minutes (waived yesterday)
Result: Achieved
Total worked today: 1h 30m
Chosen task: Prep latest gas bill
Task status: Completed
Total time this task: 1h 30m
Observations:
Didn’t meet mid-shift deadline, but I feel happy counting today’s target as Achieved, since I still began work before midnight, and then worked double my target to completion of the task at hand, despite a number of mitigating factors (first full shift since my absence; late leaving work; tiredness; and mental health still precarious).
As usual, I found this task gruelling and deeply aversive.
It’s usually complex: because of frequent changeovers in tenancy, it requires spreadsheets, ad hoc tweaking of equations, and lots of sense-checking, to work out exactly who owes what. I’m also always coming to it on a quarterly basis at best, so at least three months rusty.
I have a good spreadsheet set up, but it always takes a while to start making sense of it again and adapting it to the current situation.
However, as usual the process was further complicated because:
– I hadn't captured when flatmates had paid me
– I hadn't captured when I’d paid on their money
– falling behind meant I was even more out of practice than I had to be, details were harder to recall and to find, and I had arrears adding to my confusion.
Actions:
Set up monthly reminder to process electricity bills and review (& process where appr.) gas bills.
(Reviewing gas at the same time each month will enable me both to pick up bills in a far more timely manner and, in the time between bills, maintain a better working knowledge both of the situation and of my management processes.)
Tweak and capture the task plan I made today to serve as a checklist (to reduce resistance in future).
Memorandum:
Must capture payments (in and out) religiously. |
