Being unproductive - and why it is good for me

I realised it would happen, though didn't care. Spending each day at your computer sitting up to 4.00 in the night, just to get up two hours later for school is BAD. I knew it then, but thought i could handle it. Foolish boy eh? Eventually, for about two weeks ago, it felt like i hit a wall. I couldn't do anything, didn't feel like doing anything, and school was putten aside for spending ages at my computer - which my teachers certainley noticed.

I knew that a brake was required, to keep my mental and physical health. I limited my computer usage to maybe half an hour per day, and often, i didn't touch other then with school related stuff. When i had done that for a week, i didn't feel like returning to functions, calls and long brickbooks about C++. Instead, i purchased Morrowind. Morrowind is one of the best-known RPG's around, the third in the series of The Elder Scrolls by Bethesda Softworks. It's sequel, Oblivion, will be released in just a week. Anyone owning a XBOX360 or a good computer, purchase it. You who feel that you need to work on your games, websites or whatever, read on.

First, notice what i srote in the top. Draw the backline out of it. Spending a lot of time on programming, or anything, EVEN if you love doing that, will eventually backfired. It did for me, and i am pretty sure it can do for others. Instead, be unproductive. Lay of a week or two for doing something else, like playing games, or write blogs. Look at it as a well-earned vacation. Then, when you feel like you want to return to the functions, the calls, C++ and Torque, do that. You will earn up all of the non-productive time multiple times. I promise.

I will spend a week more playing Morrowind, and then return to programming. Too bad Oblivion is coming out though - two weeks of non-productive time is enough for me...
