As 2011 draws to a close, so (hopefully) does my current lifestyle. 2012 promises to hold the theme of change, whether that be from moving to a 'new' city, to finishing school, and even the prospect of a family member finally getting married. With this in mind, it is my hope that I can follow in the footsteps of others and begin to change my ways.
While I do not live a bad lifestyle, it is still one prone to many flaws, the largest offender generally being Laziness. Due to the upcoming move back to Vancouver, there's a feeling of pressure to start getting things done, start getting it all on track. With these feelings it is quite possible that I can use this to motivate myself and start forcing these changes to occur instead of simply saying "One day I'll start doing....." and hoping for the best, or making a half-assed attempt.
To end this post, I am going to post a tentative list of things that I intend to start doing more, and ways I hope to change how I go about it. Over time this list is sure to grow and shrink as I complete these things, and I sometimes wonder if the list ever truly finishes.
School:
The largest item on the list by far. I continually seem to fall behind because I simply cannot be bothered to begin working on my projects, because I am not going to school regularly or even because I will start to work but allow myself to become overwhelmed which soon leads to being sidetracked as I take a break. It is my hope that by planning out my courses carefully I can 'easily' work on all of them at once while still making large leaps of progress in each as I start to finish off courses.
There are some ways that I do intend to try getting caught up aside from my better planning. It is my hopes to start attending school far more often so that I am forced to sit there, even if for an hour or two, and do nothing but work. I also hope to start cutting out electronic distractions by leaving off the laptops and television so that I will not be easily swayed into bad habits.
Waking Up Earlier - If I am to succeed at all this coming year I will need to start falling into a better habit.
Going to Bed Earlier - In order to succeed at the above, this does tend to go hand in hand.
Obtain a Passport - A relatively minor thing, but I do intend to obtain one so I can travel if needed.
Obtain my L - Despite not owning a car, I do hope to learn how to drive so that I can have this useful skill.
