So far it’s been a fair lack of progress since last week. I think the beginning of term is always slightly hard for me to get back into the swing of things. Forgetting the times of the holidays and moving forward into new study is challenging, especially after such a long break. Thus keeping up with study has resulted in a drastic shift in my mentality towards the workload. I agreed I would maintain a strong level of work ethic throughout this semester and the year. If I make an adjustment to my habits now, I will be able to get into the right state needed to complete the rest of the tasks to come. The habits that I need to form over the next few weeks relate mainly to procrastination. I need to make sure I limit the distractions that are around me. If I focus on my work and allocate a specific amount of time to it, then I’m going to be able to stick on track with the workload.

In the next week, I am going to get on top of all my course work from this studio and other classes. In order to combat distractions, I will write down the distractions that come up and then leave time for it later to either explore or get rid of. Doing this is a good way to focus on the task whilst maintaining a level of concentration into whatever I am doing in that moment. Procrastination is obviously rearing its head as one of the main things I am going to need to work on throughout the semester. If I start doing small steps now I will be able to get to the point where focus is my natural state.

Habit to change: Procrastination to Focus.

Goal: Write down distractions as they come up.
