Akrasia

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.
