0700, Liban woke up at 0600, took his phone and started browsing, while having minor headache and other discomforts; he spent an entire hour simply browsing and not digesting what he was reading to respond to them. This is common cursory( as opposed to studying) browsing habit
0728, To gain momentum of work and to sustain focus, Liban chose to report every 20 minutes; he spent the first 20 minutes doing two minute exercise and taking a bath ; he will report again, this time compacting a lot in 20 minutes.
38 minutes passed, Liban has cleaned his kitchen, ate his breakfast and then started to browse, consuming 2 20 minutes; he was not aware of time, and thus does not know how much was spent on useless browsing; he wants to build career counseling business .
He wishes to interpret psychological inventories, validated instruments; people enter one year waiting list to find what career to pursue. He wants clients to get tested and then provide interpretations based on his education, masters degree in counseling, and experience
It may be good idea to provide free career counseling sessions while receiving supervision on career counseling; let him continue this until he is able to do this work alone; he may then automate the process, through books, worksheets,
lectures and so on.
lectures and so on.
He now has a business plan; Liban now continues to browse the net again, it became default work; he catches himself and refocuses again; his work is to learn to refocus, develop these muscles of refocusing and the muscles of sustaining the focus.
Liban presented tension on the back of his brain and the bottom of his spinal cord pertaining to his dread of doing some administrative work; he laughed at himself; if he wishes to find someone to do this work for him, let him make his business successful, or automate it.
He is not, he reported, in the work mood; he took break and felt better; Liban wishes to publish planned routines that show foreknowledge and insight and then routinize them; he also wishes to proclaim his identity as a researcher and a reflective practitioner.
Liban’s mind is empty and he is stressed; he is not interested to talk about exonerated journalist after being falsely accused of terror link due to an article that he wrote; Liban regards this to be no news. He feels pressure around his shoulders, signs of stress.
The idea of simply following your curiosity, Liban wrote, wherever it goes and re-packaging what you have learned is promising; let us test it for the next 15 minutes. It made Liban a happy man, but nothing more for now.
