Even though I’ve only read around 50 pages of “The Road Less Travelled” by M.Scott Peck, M.D., I already see positive changes in my life. As I mentioned in my last post, not being able to delay gratification is a huge problem. Its the source of a lot of anxiety for me, because I procrastinate and the things that I’m procrastinating are always at the back of mind. I wait and wait till even the last minute has past and I’m woefully late for whatever it is I’m supposed to do. After starting to read this book I am much more aware of when and how I do this everyday regarding so many things.
I haven’t been filling in my timesheets for work. I haven’t done it all term, now I have a tonne of tutoring sheets and time sheets to fill out. I also had to apologize to the people to tutoring services for being a huge slob. (I even wanted to put of apologizing but I realized what I was doing and made myself write the email that I needed to). I’ve also been planning on sending back my blackberry storm was ages (the mic on it doesn’t work). I’ve been putting off more than a month. But now I feel a bit short on cash and the refund would be nice. But I’ve still been trying to put it off. I have to delete the contact information on it and I’ve been putting it off. I couldn’t find the box in which it came and I was putting off finding it. They are all little things, I just need to put in a little time and effort to do it. But I put it off. Why? Its not like it makes me happy. It makes me anxious knowing I have all these things to do.
But no more. I charged my blackberry and will delete all the necessary things. I found the box to. I’m going to walk straight up to the mailing room and and ship this off asap. I will also actually let OEM Shop know that I have done so (they’ve only been helpful throughout). Even though I have to put in some time and effort I know I will feel much better when I’ve done all this.
