Productivity Points

[hawkwing_lb]

I've invented a new system for getting things done: Productivity Points.

(I'm such a bloody geek.)

250 words of thesis = 1 point
1 book read for thesis = 1 point
1 review = 1 point
(unless it's for SH, in which case it's 2 points, because that takes more brain)
1 hour worth of edits to anything = 1 point
1 book read for review = 1/2 point
1 two-mile interval run = 1/4 point
1 gym-set of weights = 1/4 point
1 12km exercise bike session = 1/4 point
Major food shopping = 1/4 point
Doing the washing = 1/4 point
Putting the damn washing away = 1/4 point
Cooking a meal = 1/8 point.

(If I did work actual working hours, 3 hours of work would probably be about 1 point.)

15 Productivity Points may be redeemed for one Actual Day Off.

Since Sunday, when I instituted this system, I have accumulated 6 points. It seems to be working in terms of Getting Shit Done.

At least, it's easier *see* that I've done stuff if I'm counting points.

New magazine tagline: STRANGE HORIZONS TAKES YOUR BRAINS.

I also like how it's equivalent to a sixteen-mile run.

Well, two miles in intervals takes less than half an hour... An SH review is more like four hours. If I'm lucky. *g*

I personally think you should get double points for putting the washing away. It feels twice as hard for me when I get the washing done and then it still isn't over yet!

Just saying.

But it doesn't take long enough... *g*
