I've always known that I am truly a PRO at procrastination. I always have been. I work well with deadlines. I do tend to stress out when they get so close, but somehow I always get it done. Deadlines motivate me. Is that sad? Shouldn't I be able to be motivated without deadlines?
Maybe that has been part of the problem with my house. The only deadlines I ever had were when people would come over. Then the flight of the bumblebee would occur. But things always fell apart after company left the house.
I want self-motivation, in all aspects of my life. The house is starting to turn into that, finally. I find that I LIKE cleaning. It helps me clear my head. Gosh, just the fact that I enjoy spending time in my bedroom now is AMAZING!
Anyway, now I need to be self-motivated in school. I am taking two classes for this 16 week session, nd I'm only halfway through one class at the beginning of week 8. Gotta get better at that. So, I have picked up my blog on school again. I figure that this blog has helped me stay on top of my house... maybe that blog will help me stay on top of my schoolwork. I hope so anyway.
In other news, today I vacuumed my entire upstairs. I also want to shampoo our master bedroom carpet. It might take tomorrow as well.. as I'm just going to do the shampooing in 20 minute increments so that I don't get tired of shampooing and stop altogether. Things are still coming together! Each day looks better and better!

I start school hopefully this coming Tuesday! I think that after all this hassle I've been dealing with the last 4 weeks might be over! Luckily it's my old school being the problem and not my new one! - How do you find a blog helps with keeping you on track w/ school? Do you just "report" on it what you have done? Do you use it as a study journal? Keep notes? I'm curious how you use it as a tool.
ReplyDeleteAlso, think of self motivation as relating to potty training. At first it's a million reminders to go.... and then even maybe rewards every time you do. As you develop the discipline, you now do it on your own, and reward yourself less.... until voila! You don't need reminders or rewards... it's just a part of life. I hope it comes quickly for you. of course, I feel at a point where I have almost no motivation to do anything.... let alone "self" motitvate myself :(
I'm not sure how the blog will motivate me. Maybe it will keep me simply focused on schoolwork. I love the different ideas and theories that come with my particular course of study, so I find myself thinking about school a lot. I think that if I can describe what I'm learning, then I'll know I learned it. Does that make sense? Plus, a daily-ish blog will help me hold myself accountable. But, since I just started it up this morning, I'm not sure what effect it will hold. I'll let you know in a few weeks!
