The Art of Procrastination

By far my WORST habit is procrastinating! In fact that's why I'm writing this new post...

I always manage to find myself getting super easily distracted by every little thing. From sitting at my desk to start my assignment, I can end up plucking my eyebrows or even doing the dishes. (The eyebrow part is pretty weird, I know!) Even though everyone knows that procrastination is keeping ourselves from finishing tasks, why do we still continue to do it? We are just digging a deeper holes for ourselves. I can remember the hundreds of times I stayed up to finish my assignment the day before it was due!

Every morning I wake up and think, "I'm going to have a productive day, NO distractions. 2 hours of work. Boom. Get it done." But by the end of the day my so called productive day ends up with me being annoyed at myself for not achieving my plan! I know the consequences of not doing my work, yet I still leave it to the last minute. 

I once read an article about procrastination whilst I was procrastinating and it mentioned that there are two parts of our brain competing with each other. The first part of the brain, knowing our responsibilities and the importance of completing it, the long term benefit of completing the task. The second part of our brain wants to satisfy our short term 'want', leading us to go watch tv, go on social medias or even sleep! As both of these part keep competing with another, usually the second part wins. (In my case, all the time.)

How do we control procrastination? I still haven't figured out that part yet! Looks like this will be another Mid Years resolution... Funny, I mentioned that in high school...

Hope you have a PRODUCTIVE week! I'll try to :) Meg

Life is Amazing, Even When it Isn't

Hello world, if you're listening :)

There are times where I'm in the shittiest mood, getting frustrated at everything. Being a university student the pressures are high and I feel like I want to explodeeee. Meltdowns? I've had a couple. Nothing shuts you down more than failing something you worked so incredibly hard for. But it's a learning process... It makes me want to try so much harder for the next time. But how many 'next times' do I actually get? Hmmmm I always wonder. 

Anyways, whenever I feel down or stressed out, I just think of how lucky I really am. Lucky to be able to enjoy life even when I don't (does that even make sense? Hahah I have no idea, it does in my head!). 

I believe in thinking good thoughts as much as I can. It's tougher than it sounds though, but it's my way of moving forward.

BETTER THINGS WILL COME.

Trust me :)
