Self-Discipline

Here are five areas in my life that I need imporved self-discipline:


Time Management: I don't know how to manage my time at all. Sometimes I'll catch myself spending hours on one project when I should be spending thirty minutes or so on it everyday for a week instead of working on other, more pressing, projects.

Studies: I find it hard to sit down and study at times. I always want to do what is more fun. It's a real problem that I am working on.

Knowing when to stop: Sometimes I'll be giving my buddies crap and I just don't stop. I'll catch myself, but usually they'll say something before I get to that point.

Temper: When I get mad, like really mad, it takes a LONG time for me to calm down. I don't know why, maybe it's because I don't get really mad often, but I can't control myself.


Sitting still: I have a hard time sitting still. I like to be off by myself at times so I can think, but I end up spending a lot of that time wondering why I am unable to sit still. It's a good thing, in my opinion, to be able to sit still and I have definitely got issues with that at times.

My dad has a great deal of discipline. He always is able to get his work done and he often has to miss the stuff he enjoys doing (watching football games or working in his garden) to make sure his work gets done.

I'm accountable for my own decisions. I'm also accountable for my pledge brothers and their decisions. I look out for them as they look out for me.
