Like I was sharing earlier today, I’ve been struggling to find the will and discipline to get things done on a daily basis before I began making the recent changes to my daily lifestyle. I had initially told myself that I wanted to do things differently this semester for my part-time studies. I wanted to start my assignments early so that I would have time near the end to improve and tweak my slide deck/report. Instead, I kinda wasted the first two weeks and now, with another 2.5 weeks left, I realized that I cannot procrastinate any longer. So, I decided to breakdown my assignment into the individual deliverables and I began putting dates beside them. The goal is to focus on finishing just one of those items daily (or take two days if needed). By the time I was done listing the dates, I realized I no longer had any buffer time like I had initially hoped for. But after staying disciplined for the past two weeks, this week I am already ahead of my intended schedule. Earlier today, I did contemplate the idea that “since I’m ahead, maybe I can relax a little”. But I know that that kind of thinking can be dangerous, especially for someone like me who can be a master procrastinator if I’m not careful. So no, no more procrastinating. I’m going to do my best to catch up, and hopefully leave sufficient time towards the end to do what I had originally intended, submit the best assignment possible.
