Getting Stuff Done

It feels good to get stuff done early and done well. I forgot how much of relief it was to actually do my work before it has to be put on the MUST GET DONE NOW pile. I can actually take my time and do it right, as well as actually UNDERSTANDING the material. If only I could follow through with this all the time. I know last semester I did my studying early, and it worked out quite well. A lot less stress is to be noted also. I need to get into the habit of doing my work in a timeframe that allows me to do my best work. This is not only productive in the academic sense, but also in the scope of attitude and general mindset as well. The less stress I have, the more centered I feel.

I really need to get back into the routine of doing my best work. I need to stop giving myself excuses to perform under my ability. I know what I am capable of, and as of lately, I have been performing less than such. If it means cutting into my allotted freetime, so be it. I need to stop GIVING myself freetime, and just letting it happen when it is applicable.

There are a lot of "need to stop" and "don't" statements in this post, but I believe I need a major turnaround in my work ethic as of lately. I need to start getting motivated.

I also realize that I have been giving myself too much slack lately. I've been doing things other than what I should be doing for the sole reason that I feel "too stressed". GRANTED, at the time, I don't realize that I'm doing it. That's not an excuse though, I really need to be more aware of the motives behind my actions. No life is not "unfair" and no, I am not entitled to slack just because I FEEL like I have a larger workload than other people.

Basically it just feels like I've had my blinders on as of late, and I need the motivation to take them off and face reality like a warrior. No regrets, just forward progression. Reality is there whether I am aware of it or not. I'd rather be aware and take responsibility for it.

I fought with these kinds of feelings probably for the entire 4 years at school. I never really succeded in achieving that motivation. However, I did finish and graduate on time with a decent GPA.

I wouldn't worry about it man. Shit is just going to happen.

idk, I think whatever made you feel like getting more motivated is just what I need. I must say that you're a pretty darn good inspiration :-) --Have fun w/out the stress.
