Project Typist
I've begun to believe that my current lifestyle is not cohesive with a regular schedule. This makes it nearly impossible to set a consistent work time thus making it this section of the experiment impractical. With that said, For me, schedule writing is a bad system to counter act writers block.
Even if I pretended that I had a normal day, coming home from work, having dinner then sitting at a desk to write, I still don't think its a good system. The time that life interrupts this schedule I'd become angry and resentful of the who or why. The time that I might be distract I'd feel like I wasted my time. And just because you sit at a desk at the same time everyday doesn't mean you'll know what to type or have any ideas. At the very best it's a good psychological way to trick your brain into thinking. The thing for me is that I never have a problem thinking about new things, theorizing and coming up with project. I have ideas that I'll never see done because I have too many ideas.
But fear not, this project goes on. I'm skipping to the next one on the list: Exercise. This system is based on the theory that increased blood flow to the brain will get you thinking. Hopefully you've caught the fault (see above). I was just saying that I have no shortage of thought. Despite that I think this one might have some credibility. It doesn't, however, have anything to do with blood flow. I think that a brief exercise will help shut off the brain allowing you subconscious to go to work. A large problem with writing and writer's block is over thinking. Worrying about and focusing too much on something that is not a big deal and can be fixed later.
For this experiment I will do 50 jumping jacks ever 15 minutes. I should note now that I have to reduce the experiment time to 2 hours due to lack of time in the day. Since in the control I hadn't exceeded that 2 hour mark the numbers should be okay. Though, you might argue that psychologically 3 hours might have made a difference. So I'll repeat the control at the end.
P.s. If you're wondering why theirs a delays between these project post it's because I have writer's block!
P.P.S In case you didn't do the math that's 400 jumping jacks.
