I think the biggest point to make with motivation is not to rely on it. If you want change you need discipline, to do it regardless of how you feel (obviously not if sick). Motivation is a feeling that comes and goes but you can always rely on discipline.

I learned out how to make good MAD goals. Not MAD as in the emotion, its stands for Measurable, Attainable, and Dead-line driven. Here's an example of a MAD goal, I want to read 100 pages of my book by the end of the week. Its measurable (you are able to do it), attainable (you can do it every day) and is dead-line driven (want to read 100 pages by end of the week). An example of a bad MAD goal is, I want to read 500 pages of my book. Here are reasons why its a bad goal, (1) in the goal it didn't state when you wanted to read 500 pages by, and (2) you probably aren't going to do it once you start.
I wanted to share this because I learned it in one of my critical thinking and study skills class and its one of the more interesting things I've learned in that class.

I hate school, well in all honesty, I don't. I hate homework. I feel like I work double the amount everyone else does bc I try to make it really nice, and I go slow. So an essay can take 2 1/2 hours, even though I'm good at English .
Goal: Pass my Classes 🙏
Please god let me pass.

I need to stop procrastinating !!!! help !!!

This week was all about motivation for me. After the last 2 uninteresting years of medical setbacks, I've finally decided to take matters into my own hands and get my college education started. I got everything ready to go this week and am starting within the month. It all started with some simple motivation!

My new year resoution is to look back on 2016 and not cringe as much as I did looking back at 2015 ._.

Some of my resolutions:
1. Wake up and stay up at 6:00 am. Get one productive task done in the morning before work.
2. Improve work-life balance. At the moment, I do not have any hobbies that I pursue on a consistent basis. I attribute this to my "crazy work schedule" but I know I could do a better job. So my specific task is to involve better accountability (e.g. sign myself up classes in sports/music/fitness). I struggle with accountability a lot because many of my close friends do not live near me; ergo, there are not a lot of people I can coerce (I mean convince) to be my accountability partner in hobbies I want to pursue. #workingonit.

Thanks, guys! Very appropriate video for the new year! :)

My goal is to wake up at 5:00 A.M., in the morning and start my day by preparing my own breakfast.
