Quit A Bad Habit

Everyday, it takes me quite a while to get off from my bed after I have woken up. I'm not sure how many of you are like this but I think this happens to quite many people. Usually after I wake up, I will try to figure out whether there is more time for me to continue sleeping and even if the answer is no, I don't wake up immediately, unless I'm late. I will take my phone and go online. Instagram, Whatsapp, Line, email and then Facebook.

The reason why I'd like to talk (write, to be more precise) about this today is not because I've finally come to realise this is a bad habit but it's because I would like to make a change.

Here's what I think about making a change:

Identifying weakness is easy, 

deciding to improve it is difficult, 

taking action to change it is even more difficult.

Nevertheless, I'm not gonna let this to deter my determination to change.

So in order for me to change this bad habit, I've sorted out the reasons which constitute to it so that I can tackle it to its deep root. Here're the reasons:

1. I always put my phone near to me bed. Usually before I sleep, I tend to check my phone again. The same "procedure"—Instagram, Whatsapp, Line, email and then Facebook. This is another bad habit which I wanna change. So it is very convenient for me to get my phone after I wake up. To solve this is easy: just put my phone far away.

2. I think checking my phone is important. This is different from the first reason—it has something to do with my mindset. And both you and I know changing mindset is not easy. Yet, I'm still gonna do it! Solution: constantly remind myself that those photos, chats, emails and Facebook statuses are not gonna disappear or cause any loss to me if I check them out late.

3. I think I have time to waste. Recently, I have no class to attend except for my one last exam paper on next Thursday. So I tend to think I have plenty of time but yeah, I know this is wrong. I should spend more time on revising as I really need to secure good grades, I mean A, to get into the Uni I want. Of course, I'm not gonna do my revision all the time. There're many more things I should spend my precious time on such as exercise and reading. So basically, the problem here is time management. Solution: have a clearer picture of what I have to do for the day. It's should be something like a schedule but a more flexible one which I plan and keep in my mind. I think this can be done before I sleep. Oh yay, it can deter me from checking my phone before I sleep too! One stone kills two birds. :)

Despite tackling all these problems, the most important things I need to have is DISCIPLINE. I can't change without being disciplined. Yes. It's time to be more strict to myself. I'm 20 and I should be more serious about my life. This bad habit is minor as compared to many other things but a small thing  may affect a great plan, isn't it? ;)
