Future me

So, I know this is a tough week for a lot of people-miss you H!, and I know some of you are beyond freaked out and stressed, and I'm really sorry about that. I'm happy for now though, because I finally figured out a way of getting the work that needs to be done, actually done. I'm sure you've heard me talk about future me or past me, and it's basically my method of self-motivation. Previously, I would do the bare minimum of work, based on what I felt like doing at the moment, and put off as much as possible. Lately though, I've been pushing myself to do more work when I have time, not so that I can have less work later, but so future me won't have as much work later. I know these are the same thing, but in my mind, this distinction somehow promotes work. It's like instead of working now so I don't have to work later, which isn't very motivating and usually ends up pushing work to the last minute, I'm doing future me a favor by doing my work, and since I don't have an insane amount of work do do in the first place, putting an extra hour or so of work today actually pays off in the long run. Again, I know this is nothing groundbreaking, but I'm just pretty pleased that I finally figured out a way to manage my workload in a productive way, and I hope this will lead to improvement in my grades and a decrease in my stress level. Also, I am beyond pumped for a pottery field trip on my birthday. Have a nice day!
