The Art of Laziness and Giving Up

I've realised recently that I tend to give up on a lot of things and it's something which I really loathe about myself. For example, last year I was going to do NaNoWriMo and I planned what I was going to write for about a month. But then I missed the first day and ended up not writing anything until day 4 and then it became a few days in and I had written a total of about 4,000 words and I just kind of gave up.

Writing is something that I want to get into, because I enjoyed creative writing in primary school. I mean, I wasn't amazing at it but I enjoyed it to a certain extent. I do hope later this year I can get into the writing bug again as I've got a good idea of what I want to do. But I may adapt from doing 50,000 words to doing a collection of short stories as I think that's more accessible for me.

Another factor to this I think is that I am SO LAZY. Like literally, so lazy. And also procrastination. I've been meaning to record a video response to crabstickz latest video for about a week now. Last Wednesday I was procrastinating, was going to do it on Saturday but I had a meeting at the bank, on Sunday I was too tired and I had to revise, then yesterday I had a family meal. In saying that though, I'm definitely going to do that on Sunday as well as book review or two.

In general I feel I need to organise my days better and actually do productive things. And when I wake up in the morning I want to have a clear idea of what I want to do which, I suppose links back to my 'goals' new years resolution and I possibly need to fulfill that a bit more.

If anyone's interested, my goals for this year are going well. I'm trying to eat healthier and read more. It's the middle of exams month at the moment so I haven't had much opportunity to watch TV shows and films. And this week I've been really slack on exercising. Other than that they've been going pretty well. Another thing I want to do this year is blog on here more. Not exactly force myself to do it but if I have something that I want to say in blog form then I'll write one. I also will be giving little updates/tallys on my goals at the bottom of my blog posts this year, for reference for myself as well as anyone who reads this and is interested.
