[Neophyte]

Timeboxing I'm aware of timeboxing, but I decide that I'll just timebox later, or that I don't commit for the full 30 minutes, because I get distracted. Disappointing =/

Improving my diet Progress has been small. I've eaten more salads and don't drink soda anymore. I overwhelm myself thinking that I'll have to research hours on end just to understand what's nutritious to eat. I talked to my friend and he offered support, but he's also a busy person. I will set small goals, such as going without fries and fried food for the following week, then the next week, and so on.

On starting things early and procrastination I haven't done much. It's much easier to do nothing. I do value the conflict, because deep down inside, I believe that I'm going to fail at college. I'm the type of person who doesn't do things until I'm in a hole and I have dig myself out of it; I guess it's saving myself from my hole when I feel most productive. This fate feels inevitable. I've identified with this role.

Inquiringmind, I normally would have turned a blind eye and not typed what I just have, but I see how the certainty that this gives me gives me the freedom to mess around and play without feeling guilty. The problem is that nagging voice that things don't have to be this way, and that they could be better. I overwhelm myself to avoid changing myself or attempting anything that I don't normally do. It's a way of avoiding failure.
