If I have one bad habit - it would be procrastinating my work. Keeping my daily blog to developing good writing habits; it boils down to procrastination. So I have started developing 3 good reasons system. I force myself to give 3 good reasons for not accomplishing my goal. Wherever i see laziness i know that this is not a good reason and i have to overcome them. And guess what I found that is always my second reason. For example exercising. I wouldn't say I am a couch potato but I was not a very active person - till this year in APril. I wanted to learn swimming and start gym. So I noted 3 reasons which is stopping me from doing it.
Gym:
Time --> Work ends at 7+ so by the time I reach home its 10. So? I don't have family responsibility or answerable to anyone. And stop watching those stupid soaps.
Too far --> SMU gym is too far - well find near office.
Too expensive --> Barclays corporate membership. You earn 3.5k a month sure you can afford 100 bucks a months for gym.
And guess what after answering my own 3 excuses I have been going to gym twice a week. First 2 weeks a 10mins jog=0.5km run would exhaust me. Now I go for 5km run. Now thats what I call personal achievement. Now my aim is to run for 5km run. So next sign up for Barclays running event. yey!
Project 2: Swimming
Unable to fnd a group - join YWCA and make a new one. Not everywhere you will find a group.
Inconvenient timing --> Sunday evening was very inconvenient but sat aftn was fine. Excuse ruled out.
Money - ha! just another feeble excuse.
Guess what not only did I find a great group at Costa Del So with Mr. & Mrs. Chawla and Mr. A - I have now managed to learn basic swimming and I absolutely love it!
So I am now going to note what else do I want to achieve by end of this year and analyze what is stopping me from achieving it.
