On the whole I know what things I need get done and the things that can wait.
Recently, I have made up my mind to make an effort to change my habits.
However, I still get distracted, like when I planed to clean the whole house this Friday (it is already Saturday in Okinawa), a neighbor I have not talked to for months came over. I allowed her to take over my whole day. It was really nice to catch up, but my house is still a mess.
When I feel myself moving away from my goal or losing my focus on a task I start talking to myself (voice in my head).
I tend to tell myself to get back on task or to stop doing other things and finish my first task. I also tell myself about things I KNOW I should not be eating. My favorite is when I notice that if I had gotten some house work done earlier I could be relaxing or doing other productive things by the end of the day.
The problem Is I only hear the voice..I tend not to follow it's advice.
I am like a child and talk back to myself.
"Just a few more minutes and I will get back to my task.
Or It's only one... two pieces of candy/cake/cookie"
They say know is half the battle.
Well I know what I need to get done in order to get to the things I enjoy doing!
I just need to apply what I have learned and put in a lot more effort!
