During the Personal Management unit I've learnt that I need to start using my time more effectively. I've always had problems with procrastinating, but after looking at my schedule I've seen just how bad it is. I can put important things off until the last minute while wasting my time just watching Netflix or checking Twitter for the 20th time that hour. I even have problems with putting off sleep, which might be a problem for the rest of my personal management skills. But I've been getting better. I've started putting reminders into my phone to guilt me into doing what I should be doing and I've started going to bed about a half-hour earlier than I used to.
Like I said, I really want to stop procrastinating. I've already started dealing with this by guilting myself with the phone reminders, but I should also start setting short-term and long-term goals that I can stick with instead of putting it off and saying it'll take too long/be too hard. I also want to be more organized. This sort of comes with procrastinating, but most of my time is spent ineffectively. Because I don't have a plan for how I'll spend my time it can often be wasted. To try and make this change I could start using an organizer and plan my days out so that I know when I should be doing what and force myself into doing work because it's what the almighty organizer said. Then the final change I want to make to myself is that I want to be more positive (yes, I see the irony in this site). One way I've thought about fixing this is by trying to find at least one positive thing in anything, which should hopefully subconsciously become a habit that will make me a happier, more positive person.
