Day 13 of End Clutter and Get Organized (during the day via my laptop; since my last journal entry, I've also started to using my headphones when using my laptop for longer periods of time)
Day 12 of Ultra Motivation (with sleep phones while sleeping)
Today I had a bit of a bad night. I slept well for quite a few hours and then I woke up and couldn't sleep for a while. While I was awake, a lot of negative thoughts came up. I definitely find it hard to understand why after so many years I still haven't written my thesis and finished my studies. Most people know me as a hard-working person and I keep sabotaging myself by working hard on important or urgent things that then take up so much time that there's no or hardly any time left for what should be the most important thing - write my thesis!!!
When I woke up this morning I definitely felt low and I decided against starting with work (this currently means preparing material for my teaching job) before having breakfast. I chose to browse this forum instead with the intention of writing a journal entry about my 'horrible' night. Usually, I would label this as a distraction and something to avoid (in particular at this time of the day). However, today it was the right decision. I was very happy to read that Shannon is working on turning all 3G writing subs into 4G. Can't wait!
I wish there was one particular for thesis writing, but I think the three titles 'Write a Chapter a Day', 'Write Now, Edit Later' and 'Writer's Motivation & Dedication' can all help with writing a thesis. I also wrote a private message and once I finally started writing this journal entry, my mood had already become much better .
Another thing that came up while awake last night was that I'm still unsure whether subliminals have any positive effects on me. While I keep seeing proof here in the forum that they definitely work for a lot of people, I'm still not sure how susceptible I am. However, I'll keep listening and I definitely haven't been listening long enough to come to a conclusion.
As far as my room project is concerned, I am making slow progress by investing at least a few minutes every day. It would be great if I could keep my room clean and organized - once I've finished tidying, decluttering, cleaning and demolding it (there's more demolding to do around the windows). I can keep the rest of the apartment pretty clean and tidy, but for some reason I can't just do the same with my room - at least not up until now. I had my room tidied and cleaned (I mean really tidied and cleaned - not just superficially) twice within the last 1.5 years and both times I had hoped to be able to keep it pretty clean and tidy afterwards, but I couldn't
.
As far as my thesis is concerned, I intend to work on it daily from Monday on.
