Preparation...

Greetings friends!!! I had a great time over Spring Break. It was nice to go home and relax for a while, but now it's back to the grind. Today, I woke up got dressed and headed to class. It was an overcast day and I probably should have expected some rain. Unfortunately, I did not bring an umbrella with me and was drenched on my way back to my dorm after computer skills. It was not a good feeling to say the least. In addition to dealing with the chilly rain I had to now find a new change of clothes. If only I had brought my umbrella with me...
I can apply this to all aspects of my life. It is better to be over prepared. Sometimes you may think your hard work won't pay off, but that one time when it does it will all be worth it. Say you decide to write a paper and finish it a week ahead of time, and just that day you get assigned another essay. Now you can focus on the newly assigned essay and will be less stressed. While it may not always be what you want to do, going the extra mile to be prepared for anything will pay off in the end. Later friends!!!

Laziness: When is it good? When is it bad?

Greetings friends!! Last week was a very easy week for me. I really did not much work at all, so I had plenty of time to be lazy. This can be a double-edged sword, though. It is great to have time to relax, but it is bad to get into a habit of not doing anything. This is what's been happening to me recently. This week, I actually have work to do, and I have not been getting much done. There is a certain mindset you have to get in to get work done, and I simply haven’t been in that. I’m starting to find some solutions, though. First off, for me one of the most important things is to stay active. I have recently been going to the gym quite often and it keeps my energy up. Also, I have learned that in order to maintain this energy I need to keep myself busy while doing work. That is whenever I reach a lull while working on something I need to move on to some other work. This helps keep me focused and awake. Energy drinks also help this, but should be used with caution :O. The main point, though, is that is great to relax, but too much relaxation can make you lazy and unproductive. Finding a balance is the key to succeeding not only in schoolwork but also in life. Later Friends!!!
