Procrastination…
December11
My rut is the fact that I procrastinate (I was home 3hrs before I started my homework). I find any excuse not to do something or to wait to do it. I will go out with my friends or stay on Twitter and Tumblr for hours just to avoid something. It will be difficult to stop this habit because it’s hard for me to focus on something for long periods of time. This experiment will help me get better grades and prepare for college. I can learn to get all my work done and manage my time. Thoreau says “I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” -Thoreau.
Sometimes it is hard to manage time when you have too much time. If you have 3 or 4 hours to do something you will waste a lot of time. If you only have 1 hour to get something done then you can’t waste a lot of time. How are you going to manage your time? Are you going to set up each hour to be for a particular job? Like, 3:00 – 4:00 for Twitter and Tumblr and 4:00 – 6:00 for starting homework and 6:00 – 7:00 for eating and 7:00 – 8:00 for finishing homework and 8:00 – 10:00 for TV or social media?
