Today was not much better than yesterday, but I feel like this experiment is helping me acknowledge my bad habits more. I am more alert to when and what makes me procrastinate. It hasn't eradicated the issue by any means, but it is something I am grateful for.
I will say that I started my day at 7:30am, again, and got lost track of time with other things. However, I will focus on some of the things I did well rather than dwell on my missteps. I helped my dad apply for a job today, and I helped set up some stuff around the house. I completed my lab, and I plan to work on coursework for another class before the end of the day. I have also promised my dad I would wake up earlier to him on his morning walks.
Reflecting on this challenge thus far and the past couple years, I will say this challenge has been more of a mental obstacle than anything. I have always been an overthinker, which is why I would spend countless nights studying and stressing over assessments in high school. Over the past few years, I have been putting in the bare mininum and selectively caring about things and classes that came easy to me. I hope that thorough this challenge I can keep acknowledging my bad habits and find a place of contentment, or at the very least, learn a thing or two about time management and change my life for the better.
