fix YOU

As you might know by now I am reading

'Write it down, Make it happen'

Its a really interesting book especially

how she recommends you to visualize yourself

doing things ... before you actually do.

This helps you to prepare yourself and

get in the mindset, so that you can

reach your goals. I am someone who

when overwhelmed, I procrastinate.

I dont want to do that anymore !

I have been writing various journal

entries, sweeping out the cobwebs

of each corner of my subconscious.

I am trying to talk myself into being

a better person basically. I now know why

I procrastinate when it comes to school work.

So, Im working out ways to prevent those

reasons from being an issue.

Mainly the reasons are not fully

understanding the task,

not knowing how to do the task,

not wanting to do the task.

If I get more clarification when needed,

if I research more and if I just get

all the tedious tasks over with quickly,

I can focus on the more enjoyable work.

In the book, someone even wrote to

their unborn baby and future husband

though they didnt know who it would be.

Writing things down, imagining how you

want to be...helps a lot. It takes the

anxiety out of everything and helps

you to uncover what you really want

when previously you didnt even know...

Writing things down brings all that is in your

subconscious over to your conscious mind...

so that you can find out why you do the things

you do and you can change accordingly.

Thinking things is one thing, but when you

physically write it...it becomes concrete and

you can go back and read it over and over.

Have you ever noticed how writing lists

and crossing things off feels much better than

just typing it on a computer. You tend to

remember stuff more when you

actually write it manually.

For me one major distraction is the internet.

Im planning to only take notebooks

and pencils to class to write notes. This will

help me with one of my biggest

difficulties - focusing.

Little by little I am uncovering my difficulties

and coming up with a solution.

I will share what I have come up with.

My Challenges:

Self-Discipline / Procrastination

Focusing

Organization

So then I should:

• Do things right away
• Write down everything in my planner
• Don't take laptop to class
• Pay attention to deadlines
• Listen / Bring voice recorder

P.S to Self - You must stop being so bloody addicted

to facebook and youtube !

Thats a big one...

The library is directly across from my new

apartment which Im moving into in September

so I will utilize that to the max.

Hopefully that will help me to seperate

my school stress from my home life. Blehhh : )
