I start to write a blog today. I would write about what I learn, what I am doing and what I think. Here is like a place for me to confess with myself and share some thoughts to other people. Who knows I can receive helps from other people and I could help other people~

I just ditched my online class. It sounded so bad but I were wasting 3 hours for nothing for watching anime. Anime is not bad thing but the bad thing here is I cant control myself. I woke up early like usual, after quick breakfast, I sat down to study but I cant focus … For some reasons, I turned on a new anime then I just spent 3 hours watching 11 episodes. Even when my class started, I still watched it. Now I felt bad because I just wasted so much time.

Back to online class, I started university classes from last week but I havent got used to online studying. I didnt know what I need to study and what I need to do. Most of my time, I would spend for my studying outside school and trying to get a part-time job. It is not like I dont like school but Im overwhelmed with the workload I put on myself. Actually, I think my time management is badly. Instead of 3 hours watching anime, I could’ve studied all the things I wanna learn today. Then I could spend those time for classes … So if I create I a fixed window of time for watching entertainment everyday, I would stay away distraction like watching anime in the morning today? So what would be the good time for entertainment? Night time before sleeping. Yay. So I should leave like 1 hour everday from 10 to 11 for entertainment. Whatever entertaining activities I wanna do in a day, I could them down and do it later at the end of the day? sound good right? Let’s do it and see.

Update about my experiment with distractions: I wrote down like 2 or 3 things about which video in YouTube I want to watch and some activities I wanna do. It has been quite successful so far. Whenever I had urge to watch YouTube or some idea to do, I wrote them down then continue my work. I know I would spend some time on that later tonight so I dont need to distract myself to do them yaya.

22:38:

I decided to spent evening hanging out with my friends and doing everything I wrote down for my later distractions. I watched almost everything I wanted and now I felt great about my work in the afternoon and relaxing in the evening. Though I still had few things to do but I guess I will do that tomorrow … for now, I would read whatever I like and sleep early for a long day tomorrow.
