I'm not sure if you can relate, but there are things that I do that I know make me feel irky, but I do it anyway... out of habit. Things like having ten tabs open at one time. Like checking my phone after I wake up or brush my teeth -- even though it makes my eyes hurt because they haven't fully woken up yet. Things like watching a youtube video or browsing through my instagram feed for instant gratification when I'm feeling down.
It's only now that I fully realise they don't add anything to my life, but instead, detract from it. And then there are things that I know will add to my life, but never bother to go do. I make excuses, do other things instead that are "more urgent", and at the end of the day, I probably was less productive than I could have been. In many ways, I'm mildly frustrated, but more than that, I'm really glad that I'm finally taking notice and wanting to input some of what I've realised into action. Better now than never, right?
five things I will start doing
// have no more than three tabs open at a time
// check your phone only when you're out of the house
// try to focus on your problem before you seek instant gratification from entertainment
// exercise more, walk more
// don't do things for the sake of it, do them with purpose.
