Recently started focusing on my career. Not the go with the flow stuff but an actual structured plan. I have decided to stick with it for 1 year and see where it takes me. Basically monk mode.

Here's where the problem is. I have 2-3 very productive days, where I feel actual progress. Followed by 5-7 days where it seems to saturate. At this point, I start feeling some stress, frustration, anxiety. Which then leads to 2-3 days procrastination and fantasizing. Which then leads to 1-2 days of feeling down and depressed. Then the cycle restarts.

I have more productive days than bad ones. But are there ways to cut the bad stuff and keep the focus ? Or does it keep getting better with time?
