This plan went sorta well. It was very hard for me to give up music because i listen to it everyday and while i’m doing my homework. I think my rut had a negative effect on my life. I would be really grumpy while doing my homework. For physics I would give up on the hard problems because I would not be able to do them. I went on brainfuse to get help but they replied so slow. My patience would run out very quickly without having music. I think the music helps me be calm and patient while doing difficult homework. I am glad that i had this experience to give up something in my life. For the past three years I gave up texting for lent. That was much longer than a week. I figured out that i did not really need texting the whole time. I was allowed to text my mom or dad if there was an emergency. My life was more complicated giving up this rut. I would get so frustrated and stressed out without music.I think that “the more experiments you make the better”(Emerson).
