How to get more done by watching more anime
We all know that just working and not having any fun could let us get a lot of done short term, but long term it’s not sustainable.
We all have those days, when we just can’t seem to start and then we can’t stick with an activity we should be doing. The work seems endless, the time seems to be dragging. We are sleepy and can’t focus.
Should you just force yourself then? Maybe… or maybe not? Forcing yourself when you are clearly not in the mood might be the wrong way to do it.
It’s called “Animedoro” and is a variation of a work/break timer. It’s applicable for any time of work when the focus time is essential, like if you need to study for an exam or finish a report.
What you need for animedoro is a timer (one on your phone would do) and somewhere to watch anime like netflix or crunchyroll. If you don’t particularly like anime, you can watch a show with short episodes instead.
If you take breaks you can go on for much longer and overall you will have a more pleasant experience. Imagine if you were to climb a very steep mountain when you aren’t super fit. It would be very, very hard to go without stopping and you will miss all the great views, because you would be struggling too much to pay attention. On the other hand if you take regular breaks, it might take you a bit longer, but you will be able to get to the top and you will enjoy it much more along the way!
