Productivity

I am hardworking.

No no!
I have to rephrase that!
I seem like hardworking.

Borrowed books from library, plenty of it, carry by the side with my hand, shoulder hanged with a heavy laptop bag with laptop inside (if not?), I am a typical University boy (how you define today typical Uni boy? - Nerd? Trendy?).

I looked as if I am very busy with my stuff, hanging library, walk up and down.
Spent few weeks time with the borrowed book, did I really flip them through? At least once?
*shame shame* The answer is no.
I mean, I never went through them seriously, if I wasn't really paying attention on it,
how can I benefit from it?

I hate myself (not that extreme lah i think, lol) for not focus on the things I wanted to do.
There will be distraction going all around, always.

Make your priority right! (This is the first principle shown in wikiHow-How to be smart!)
What I did was that I hitting the bush aimlessly, I never clear with what things come first.
And this is what I get - nothing.
Logic right? You aim for nothing, and therefore, you get NOTHING.

I am not organized I admit.
I should do one thing at a time.
Yeah! that's the essence of being prioritize!
Aim first for the most important thing, and others subtle leave behind.
Simple thing is always the most difficult thing,
because no one believe it is so simple!
But it is!

Someone defined procrastination to me before,
using assignment as an example,
that if there is 0.0001 possibilities that tomorrow will be the end of the world,
you will choose not to do your assignment.
Of course he is trying to exaggerate the fact,
but he pinpoint one important truth,
that in general, people procrastinate whenever they've given chance or excuses.

"Oh, the due date is next month, don't worry, we still have plenty of time."
"Weekends are holiday! Assignment should work on study days- weekdays~!"
"I aint feeling well, ,man."

All of these are my excuses, you might be familiar if you are my kind (except TBK, she from other planet one, she said).

Okay, lesson one! ( how to be smart!)
Set goals once a week~
of course you can set daily goals, yearly goals or what so ever,
the important things are that,
1) you set the goals, and you do go for it,
2) and you set the goal according to their degree of importance.
3) punish yourself if you failed to follow.
4) reward yourself only when you met the criteria to be rewarded (you set yourself la of course).

see you next time!
