Have you ever felt like that you are getting off course? I know I do and it is so easy to get off track. Sometimes the hardest part is to get back on course and heading in the right direction. There may be times when you may feel so consumed with your life that you sway from your purpose. Weighing studies, family responsibilities, a job can be pretty tough. I know because I am in the same boat.
What do you do when you become sided tracked and all of your
plans are not flowing? The following are some things that you can do:
- Take a closer look to see where you went wrong.
- Formulate some ideas on how to fix it.
- Think about how you avoid it in future.
The first step is to take a closer look of where you went
wrong. How did you get off track? For example, my biggest problems with
studying are that I sometimes go into a tangent and procrastinate on assignments. I go into a tangent when I focus on other
things such as watching TV instead of focusing on things that are time
sensitive such as reports. A tangent can be any distraction that takes you off
course such as hanging out with friends or playing video games when you have
more important matters that needs to be handled. If tangents are constantly
left unchecked, it can lead to procrastinating and causing students to fall
behind in their assignments.
Another step is to formulate some ideas on how to fix the
problem. Now lets look at my problem of
going in tangents with the TV. The
solution I formulated for my problem is to have more discipline and to stay on
schedule. Instead of running to the TV when I have to work, I would plan to do
it when it is more feasible to do so.
The last step is to figure out a way to avoid getting off
course. Once I figured that going into
tangents causes me to procrastinate on my assignment, I knew that I had to do
something to keep it from becoming a negative habit. I started to implement a new regiment of
following a do list or a schedule. And
once I completed my tasks, then I would have free time to do other things.
Is it possible to stay on course? Yes it is, and once you do, you become more
balanced. Staying on course is more than
just working, taking care of family, studying and doing your school work, it is an intricate part of your life.
Once you have mastered the art of staying focused on your purpose, then you
able to accomplish great things regardless of what obstacles that may come your
way. Yes, you can succeed!:)
