These are things I've learned about myself that I need to either do or not do to make myself most productive/comfortable.

Productivity

  • If I plan on studying in the morning, I HAVE to have everything next to my bed. Or else my laziness will kick in and I'll go back to sleep.
  • I have to write out key terms on an unlined piece of paper when studying for an exam.

Comfort

  • Always have a pair of flats either in my purse or in my car for when I wear heels.
  • Have nonperishable snacks in my glove compartment for when I'm stuck in traffic on the freeway after class.
  • When plagued with migraine, have bananas on tap to make taking my medication easie...

Anytime I feel like spending money on myself, I need to remember that I have these responsibilities/goals:

  • Rent
  • Phone bill
  • Groceries
  • Gas
  • Plane tickets/travel expenses
  • Charitable donations
  • Gifts for friends.

It's not about youuuuuuuuu. Shift your focus outward!

I really want to take a calligraphy class but I don't have a routine yet and that scares me. Hopefully in March, I can start.
