Late.

I missed my 9AM today because we couldn't find Stevie (our keys). Sad times. We really do need to get our lives together in that aspect. Like, for real. It's so much better to just build up a good work ethic now rather than later. I'm going to need to work hard all my life so why don't I just start now?

I don't know how exactly to get on that road but I think little things will help...like actually doing to-do lists and scheduling my time. Also, not procrastinating and learning to balance work and play will be a key thing in getting my ish together. I like doing things a lot but the only way I'll be able to do them is if I use my time wisely and keep up with all of it.

Here's a list of things to do to have a better work ethic and use my time better:

• Have realistic goals.
• Avoid procrastination. Don't think of a task as "schoolwork", think of it as something that will better you as a person.
• Take care of yourself so your self can do more.
• Actually use to-do lists. Don't just make them and forget about them. Have one that you can have open while you do the things on your list as some kind of motivation.
• For big projects, create deadlines, space out the time you spend on it. You'll be more likely to do it if it's planned and ready to be done and if it's not all at one time.
• Schedule time wisely. Make sure that along with the number of hours spent on school and work, there is also time for exercise and hobbies.
• Combine activities. Friends can eat with you, exercise with you, and study with you. Also, when studying with a friend you have a credibility partner where both of you make sure each other's work is getting done. Avoid study with a friend who will only distract you.

That's all I have for now. If I think of more, I'll add on to it later. (=

Peace. Love. Live. <3
