take control of my life

I will make my studies my first priority. I need a proper study routine and I need to stop procrastinating. Putting things off until “tomorrow” isn’t helping me. I also have to stop letting stupid little things hold me back for weeks before I deal with them. Time is valuable.

I will also focus a little bit on my health. For now, jogging regularly will be my only health goal. I’m tempted to add lots of other goals – all the musts and shoulds… but nutritional goals, strength training etc will have to come later, because this is step 1. Jogging outside in fresh air is a good stress/worry reliever so I’m thinking it’s good to combine this with my study goal. My main focus will be on my studies though.

I’ve been a bit depressed lately as I feel I’ve wasted quite a few years of my life. And I’m not going to stay young forever so I need to start taking control of it.
I think the problem is that I wanted it all at once and ended up doing only a little bit of everything inconsistently, which of course gave no results. It’s just a waste of energy and time.
But I don’t want to give up and be miserable about it, so my new strategy is to be persistent and patient and get where I want to be in life slowly and steadily.
So now I’m starting from point zero and will only focus on 1 or 2 areas to work on until I can handle it well and feel ready for more. Learn to crawl before you walk, right?
