Don’t blame angular momentum

What are your biggest challenges?
First day of the year.

Hello, 2024. We all say– new year, new me. So then, shall we overcome our challenges?

My biggest challenge is the disconnect between what I want to use my time with and what I actually end up doing with my time.

I know I want to become better, and improve myself, to spend time learning and trying new things. I just can’t find the motivation and will to do so. I always end up finishing the day with only a small percentage of things I wanted to accomplish actually done. And with each day that passes, it compounds and compounds into a mountain of work. Time has surely slipped out of my control.

You see, I am interested in a lot of things. I want to learn a lot of things. I truly wish that I could use my time to its full potential, and use it to become so much better. But you know—laziness.

I can go ahead and blame how fast the Earth spins to make a 24-hour revolution. But really, that’s useless. It’s 2024, let’s change me.

I fully believe I have the power to overcome time, and anyone does. Time is a concept, and I can always change my habits, my perception, my expectations– it is up to me. Honestly, it’s just a skill issue. I’m just not good enough at time management.

When I have the option to play video games, it is really hard to resist that. And the only time I have to learn new things is also the only time I have to play video games. When school’s here, time is gone, for real. So I better get a hold of time again while I still have break, or else, I’ll disappoint myself pretty badly. Make a schedule, and stick to it. Get good sleep so that no matter what, I’ll be in a decent mindset. That’s how I win in 2024.
