Time-management is one of my fortes. I am excellent at getting work done on time, and even ahead of time for classes. Once homework and other obligations are out of the way I have plenty of time for socializing and the like. I rarely get really stressed out and even if I do I handle that well.
And then I started my sophomore year in college.
I am such a bum this semester. I can't seem to discipline myself to get things done in a timely manner. I'm going to drive myself nuts with this lack of schedule, forgetting assignments, and general lack of self control.
Most of the time I allow myself to be distracted. It's not hard. I've got lots of options, internet, piano playing, napping, wandering aimlessly around the dorm, and talking to friends (I don't mind this one at all really because it's usually productive and encouraging).
I think one of the causes is my seemingly excessive amount of free time. With more free time I always have the excuse that I can do it later.
The problem with this whole being a bum thing is that more important things often fall to the side. Like time getting to know others, spending time ministering to others, and most importantly, time with God.
Hopefully I'll kick myself in the rear one of these days and get in gear. Until then, if you see me with lots of books and papers spread all over my bed, I'm probably attempting to work. I'd love to see you, but encourage me to finish my homework first.
Well, time for a nap.
