Motivation

I'm finally starting to buckle down and trying to get things done. I'd started to take on this attitude of apathy when it came to doing things that I had to do and my procrastination took a turn for the worst. I don't know but I've realize that with things that I really don't care about, I really don't care and it will take me forever to finish doing it. This unfortunately also relates to work. I think that one of the hardest things for me to accept is that with any job, there are going to be things that I like and things that I don't like that I have to do. I just hope that with being a professor, there will be considerably more that I like and very little that I don't like.

I'm hopefully slowly but surely taking the path towards diligence. X.x haha It's so hard to do because honestly, there's so many things that distract me from the "things I have to do" such as anime, reading books and even stupid things like facebook. What's worse is I have justification for reading (though anime and facebook is a little weaker). Meh! I think the most important thing is to set goals and schedules and follow through with them, though this is much easier said than done.

With that said, I shall now continue reading my Pscyhology textbook! (I've been enlisted to teach AP Psychology this year. If I move, the place I'm looking at has a work schedule of MTThF so I will be free on Wednesdays to teach if I need to). I hope to keep my weekends free.

Being an adult I realized that when it comes to being motivated and getting things done, it isn't a matter of doing-it-because-I-will-get-in-trouble-with-the-parents anymore but more of a I-really-should-do-this-for-my-own-good. The problem with that is that I really don't care or at least it's low enough on my priority list that I'll hope it eventually will go away. Which is never the case.

So it goes with being/becoming an adult.
