Indeterminate Day Procedure #1
Step 1
Write down a list of activities. The list should be as long as possible. In order to benefit from the experiment in terms of productivity, the list may contain errands or work that needs handling. Make sure to number the list.
Step 2
Use a number generator to obtain 12 numbers. Activities corresponding to given numbers must be attended to from the minute of waking. Each activity must last an hour. Daily rituals cut into the activities so they must be carried out as quickly as possible. Eat fast shit fast shower fast.
Theory
The procedure will ensure that the day is not wasted. Even though the activities are obtained by chance, they’re still important because they’re derived from a well thought-out list. The procedure guarantees twelve hours of productivity.
Another goal is to eliminate eliminate ritualistic behavior. The element of chance ensures that different activities are attending to during different hours of the day. Perhaps I’d never otherwise paint at 8am or go running at night. The time of the day is an essential part of an experience. I might find greater joy in painting immediately after waking. A joy I might have left unattended without a helping procedural hand.
I plan on repeating this procedure until I get tied down by a 9 to 5. Aside from productivity, I also expect to feel more fulfillment from each day and an increase in cognition. I believe that tasks should be performed during to different times of the day in order to retain interest in the task. I believe the brain is dulled through daily rituals. Perhaps variation is the key to self-improvement. Please try this and share your experience with me.
