As I have Monday's off this semester I have decided to do two hours of Multimedia work during that day. I looked at my timetable and I have a lot of breaks during the day while at college so to fill up them hours I will be doing one hour on a Tuesday afternoon and another hour on Wednesday. I find for me doing college work over the weekend defeats the purpose of a weekend. I know with assignments due and long days at college sometimes I will have to do work on Saturday and Sunday but for now I will work hard during the week and spend my weekends relaxing.
The first article I read was "The Importance Habit of Just Starting". Like I have said in a previous blog my big challenge is starting something. Once I get started I don't understand why I put it off for so long. By reading this article it made me realize I do not want to die and not to have fulfilled my dreams and the only way to change that is by starting something as soon as you get it. I know I lack in motivation sometimes but as Dr. Steel’s has said "our day-to-day lives is like trying to diet in a candy store and then being blamed for getting fat" and hes dead right! If you want to do something do it now before you do not feel like doing it anymore. https://lifehacker.com/the-important-habit-of-just-starting-1771016698
The second article I read was "The Myth of "Too Busy". I am always saying "oh i'm so busy" but what does that mean? Does that mean you are run off your feet? Does it mean you have no time what so ever? Or do we just say we are "so busy" when actually we haven't done a thing? By reading this article it has made me notice that I am always busy. I like how the author of this article has suggested we used different words than busy.
As I've been writing these last couple of blog posts I have realized that I haven't gone near my phone to check social media. Maybe that is taking up so much of my time, maybe I need to restrict myself to focus on my college work more. I know my timetable will change over the next couple of weeks but I hope that this motivation stays with me throughout the year to get assignments done as soon as they are given to me.

As I have the semester calendar bookmarked to my phone it has synced to the calendar on my phone. This will help me and remind me what I have to do within the coming week and what has to be submitted. If I have time left over or I worked faster one day I will work ahead. The one thing I have promised myself this year is that I will start all my work straight away and not leave it to the last minute like last year! It just saves the stress (trust me)😅😅
