Day 48 - Update

Well if you've been following my thread a lot has happened and change is in the air

As per the posts above (yes read those) I have made a decision of the road going forward but lets first discuss the update.


Today Sunday 22nd May I felt the biggest whiff of procrastination in a long time.

I had planned to work on a project all weekend and hand it in on Thursday, the day of the deadline and to present it.

I believe fear stopped me and even a friend from starting this project UNTIL 11pm today.

The time is now 1.23am and while I take a break I am here typing this post.

I plan to continue working on this assignment/project until 3am and then to stop. I will try and conclude it over the next few days if possible and complete it in time to present before class and to submit to the teacher.

The funny thing is that I've no idea if indeed E2 is the cause of this procrastination or not, however what is clear is that:

A) E2 hasnt cleared this element of my psyche

B) I have gone to my old ways which is both to work at night as a night owl and to also leave work to the last minute.

I today did a search as you will read in a post above on IYGSH (improve your grades and study habits) and found some old posts of mine.

It seems that from the very start my biggest issues has been to deal with my procrastination.

This has affected me in ALL areas of my life since high school and has gotten progressively worse as I aged through puberty and beyond till now.

When I came to this site, I had started with MLS 5G in the hope that this would be curbed, however as you will know it didn't which lead me to start E2 and thus so far nothing.

I believe time has taught me a lot. When I came here I was confused as to the difference between MLS and IYGSH.

Now I'm wiser and understand with the help of some of you amazing and helpful people here that IYGSH was probably the one I should have started with.

Today I learnt that the UMotivation sub is the one to do if you have many goals to reach and goals to do every single day. Ive learnt that this is the sub for me as I do have many daily non-negotiable tasks I must do that deal with my health and fitness and nutrition as well as studying etc.

I have also learnt that IYGSH will deal with procrastination and motivation too even though it is 4G.

I thank those of you that have given me a lot of support, a lot of information and a lot of your time because altogether it has helped me to realise that its time to move to another sub.

I plan to move to IYGSH and give this a go UNTIL MLS comes out.

When MLS comes out, I will see that it includes the big 3 that are priority for me, such as IYGSH, UM and Procrastination.

Shannon has said (see above) that elements of all 3 will be in MLS so I hope this will be the sub to jump onto however if not atleast I would have given IYGSH a start.

From using this sub ill know if I need to stay on it, or move to MLS or move back onto E2.

I was also happy to hear today from Shannon that E2 will and has worked on me, even if I have been resisting which is great because it means there is still hope for me after all.

So what now....

Well as per Shannon's advice, I will STOP E2 immediately.

I will wait 1 week, exactly 7days to see if anything due to E2 has happened to me.

Im not sure what to expect but I will wait and see.

If nothing is noticed then I will start IYGSH in 7 days time, on Sunday night 28th May.

I believe MLS may take longer than 1 month to be released which means I will have atleast 30days to give IYGSH a shot.

From reading many journals, there is a lot of success that has been had from IYGSH so I really hope whatever has cleared with E2 is something and enough to give IYGSH a good and easy way to work for me.

I will update this thread over the next days to let you and myself know if I notice anything.

After that this thread will close and IYGSH thread will begin.

I will link my threads on that thread and then begin my journalling on there.

For those of you unsure, MLS is there to help you to learn, its there to help you improve your ability to learn but IYGSH is there to build the habit of learning and studying and to overcome procrastination.

I know my friend Zane here has said that his subconscious has given him ways to avoid the sub IYGSH whilst listening to it so that he did other forms of learning rather than what he was supposed to and though I have no answer for this I can only hope that this does not happen to me.

My journey here has been a long one, having started with MLS 5G with a lot of hope to only fail and jump to E2 with hope that it cleared whatever stopped MLS 5G working to now not feel anything to move to IYGSH now.

I can only hope that this sub is the start of my journey where I notice change and create a beginning that I have wanted to from the moment I first came here 2 years ago.

What will help is knowing that I can listen to subs daily without any issues and so this I hope helps me to work towards my academic success whilst at university.

So wish me luck guys!
