So i learnt a pharse that i believe is happening to me, it is akrasia.A few minutes ago,i decided to go on google and search for best article.Many choices come up indeed,and i pick one of this suggested article called the akrasia effect hence acknowledge the real meaning of akrasia.Akrasia is doing someting else when you know you should be doing other things that is important for you or in a simplest word,procrastination.
Correct! that was what i have been experienced for the past few days.The need of me to study for a better future of myself but instead i am wasting my time on netflix,youtube,let alone instagram!
I was sooo unbelievably optimistic of what i want to do but then i just got lazy and my mind went straight to by present self instead of thinking about the future me.
Upon reading the article,it suggested 3 strategy in order for you to stop being an akrasia.And suprisingly the first strategy is something that i already did but still it did not work out.
Basically,the first strategy is by having a commitment device.In that article,it says that Victor Hugo,a book writer,told his assistant to lock all of his clothes in a chest and leave him with just a shawl! This was supposed to make sure that he did not go out and just spend time in his home,writing book which is about to reach its deadlines.Hence he succeed in writing the book before the freakin deadlin!
So did i, i do have my commitment device to study,where i move the not used dining table in the kitchen into my room,so that i have a big study space area to do my study.But still I got lazy and my mind just out of order.
So,I will try again,trying to resist the needs of my present self and focus on the future me.
The End.

Time to talk
It's currently semester break! This semester break takes about one month and a half,so basically what I had planned for myself is for a CHANGE.A change to a better me.This are the list that I want to do,let me share
1)Revision for the last 3 module in preparation for pro exam next year.
2)Learn more vocabulary
3)Speak up
4)Love myself more and stop comparing myself with other
Thats it! Oh and good news,yesterday I just got my final semester 2 result and I passed! For sem 2 i got B,sem 1 I got C.That's truly satisfying because I know the amount of blood,sweat and tears I had put throughout the journet :)
So continue,lately I just want to focus on myself and one thing that I notice about myself is that I tend to avoid things rather than face it.For example,when someone whom i am uncomfortable to speak text me,i tend to avoid the message by not opening whatsapp for a day.Then,next day or when i feel like to read the message or sometimes accidently,then i'll face it.
I think that is something i should not do because it seems unprofessional in other way,so i will try to change the habit.
Next, the thing that i don't favour about myself is,i'm not really good in conversation whether orally or virtually.I don't know what to reply to that person,or how to continue the conversation..I think i might be socially awkward at some point.
If any of you guys have any idea how to break the barrier,feel free to drop your opinion below.
And one of my goals is to write more often so that I get comfortable writing and i'm about to make a journal.But lets see how things went
