Time - An Explanation & Update

My exams were done and over with on Dec 4th and I had every intention to blog regularly again, I even had a plan in place to for a new blog post everyday of December.. But what happened ? I have no idea. One moment it was Dec 4th and now theres only a couple of days left in 2013.

This month I planned to do it all. I wanted to do all the Christmas festivities that I never got to do before, I wanted to sleep in and over 8 hours everyday, I wanted use this winter break to learn more about the design programs I've been dabbling in, I wanted to workout and get a head start on my new years resolution to "get fit", I wanted to do so much but ended up half/barely starting everything. 

Planning to do things and actually getting things done are things a struggle with the most. More often than not I find myself ignoring the things a want to do (blogging, learning, exercising) and wasting time on useless things (online shopping, youtube, pinterest, other internet black holes.) With the year coming to a quick end its hard to believe that another 365 days past by, although I feel like I've made steps in the right direction but I am no where near where I want to be.

I order to change this habit I want to challenge myself next year to create more than just a list of things I want to get done but make a timeline and develop a step by step guide as well. Hopefully this will make it better and when I start to see more little things being crosses off it will motivate me to cross off the bigger things.

Because honestly speaking there is enough time in the day, I just don't make use of it efficiently.

Trying New Things...

Happy Monday Everyone !
I am a creature of habit in almost everything I do. 

Food.

Stores. 

Routines.
Everything.
I really don't like trying new things I tend to stick with something until I am stick of it then and only then will I move on to something new. This was never really an issue for me until now.
With graduation looming I feel like I need to get out of my comfort zone. Going to university was easy, it was a routine I am use to. When people ask me what are you doing now answering I go to university was such a safe and easy answer. I a way university is my bubble. It as been a safe excuse for so long that I never really left the comfort of it.
But now seeing how I graduate in 6 months is a scary thing. I going to have to finally do things I haven't had to do in years (like career hunt and make a resume). Im going to finally have to break out of my shell and truly find myself and what I want to do. My life will change 6 months from now and I am both terrified and excited.

Don't Be Pushed by Your Problems

It's easy to get lost in your problems, become so overwhelmed with trying to solve everything you lose track of what mattered in the first place. This was a rough weekend. I was so caught up in the right now trying to solve everything I could I got lost in my own problems and lost track of what really mattered. 

 my dreams. And at the end of the day you have to look at the bigger picture and focus on what really matters your dreams.
