Chapter Text

            I finally sat down to write myself out a daily schedule. I’ve scribbled it out in pencil in a notebook I keep on hand. Perhaps now I’ll finally get around to doing all the research and organization that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I kept telling myself I’d do it before, but I never got around to it and mainly just lazed about.

            I know I should have done this much sooner, but hey, I’m a huge procrastinator. It is one of the bad habits I need to break. Perhaps by doing this, I can break some of my other bad habits as well. I really need to get myself in a routine if I want to get anything accomplished. For too long have I just been spinning my wheels in the mud and not getting anywhere. I must get over worry and self-doubt. It is doing nothing but hindering my potential.

Notes:

Written for Tribble Month 2022 for a 'pencil' prompt.

It was a nice coincidence, as around that time I had decided to write out a schedule for myself to follow to try and break my bad habits and try to get things accomplished in a timely manner. Of course, actually following the schedule was a whole different manner. It was also to try and pull myself out of the rut I was in from being a shut-in for over two years at that point.

I should probably try and make myself a schedule again as I have fallen back into those bad habits. Maybe I might actually follow it this time. At least my mental state isn't as bad as it was at that time.

If you find yourself in a rut, maybe write out a schedule for yourself and see if you can follow it. If you're feeling stuck in the mud like I was at the time, it might be something to help pull you out.
