Well then It seems I will be returning to the goal system I used some time ago.
From my collected data that was when I was most productive. And back then I didnt even use other techniques like visualization. It just plain works for me, because it forces me to get to work. It's like an art job with a short deadline.
When I dont use this method.I end up doing some art, but it just isn't enough. I rarely use visualization techniques or restructures. I dont have any resulution to push myself since life is currently easy and carefree. So, I need to create artificial causes to get me to work. Although lately I have gotten a few jobs so there are actual causes too, but the deadlines are gentle so It still isn't enough.
I think it works so well is because even if theres an external motivation to get me to do art I still revert to my intrinsic pleasure I get from it after a few minutes.
Goal: Do atleast 70h of art in the next 10 days.
Punishment: No internet for a month exept job related stuff.
Every day you are behind progress on your goal take a 5 min cold shower.
No more than 2 hours per day on games/movies etc unless 5h ahead of goal.
Goal starts tomorrow.
This reminds me of those "working joes" from alien isolation, creepy fella.
