many of my friends, and myself included, struggle with putting their phones down to focus on work. being on your phone can be addictive and feel like a need, but once you put your phone down, it's so much easier to get your work done and live in the moment.
in the past, i've kept my phone next to me at my desk while doing homework, and because it was in reach, i would constantly be on it and wonder why i wasn't able to finish all of it on time. more recently, i started to put my phone on my bed or completely away so that i don't get tempted at all. i found that this helped me to stay focused and i feel so much more accomplished after completing my task.
you might say, "maia, i listen to music through my phone though! i can't just put my phone away." you really can though. listen to music through your computer or ipad to eliminate distractions as much as possible. speaking of songs, "Non-Stop" from Hamilton kind of reminds me of time management, which is why the title of today's post is a quote from the song. i would recommend to take a little time to listen to it today.
time management is what you make of it. if something is important to you, like schoolwork, you make it a priority to get it done. now, whenever i have extra time in school, i try my best to finish any work so that i don't have to do it at home and i can take that time to relax. to me, having good time management means being able to utilize your time efficiently to help your future self.
this also goes hand-in-hand with yesterday's topic, which is motivation vs. discipline. though you may not be motivated to do the homework, using your discipline will help you achieve the goal of getting good grades and not procrastinating.
i hope today helped a little and you enjoyed the topic! i'll catch you on the next one!
don't wish for it, work for it.
