My 30 day challenge progress report! :)

     I'm not sure if it's just me that's not doing so well but I'm pretty unhappy with my progress so far. I obviously don't feel so great about myself now because I feel like I've done such a poor job so far. But if I think about it, I DID improve at least a little bit. It's hard to say I am successful with my 30 day challenge but I at least tried! :) Just to refresh your memory, my 30 day challenge was to not procrastinate. I know it's a problem for a lot of my friends and Daniel (my blog group member) has a similar challenge too! My goal was to take it by step by step and work it up slowly. I was first going to start out with decreasing the amount of time I spend on Facebook everyday. The second step was to try not to take naps afterschool because it leads to pushing my homework till later. I have a bad habit of taking naps afterschool. It leads to doing my homework later at night which makes myself sleep later and yawn a lot in class the next day. It's a BAD habit that I really need to fix. I also wrote in my goal a few weeks ago that I'll try to finish my homework before dinner time! 
     I know, it has been a hard time for me to resist myself from going on Facebook. Facebook is such an addicting website! I actually spent less time on Facebook than I usually did. I used to spend about 2 hours on Facebook on weekdays afterschool but I decreased it to about an hour! I know, I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm almost there! :) I also tried to finish my homework before I went on the computer, and a lot of my friends helped me out with that. I remember sharing my goal with the class a couple weeks ago and Ms.Lees told everyone to ask me if I was done my homework whenever they saw me online. Surprisingly, a lot of people DID ask me and I felt pretty guilty the first couple days when I went on it without completing my homework before! I was really surprised when people from the other block 4 class asked me, I was a bit creeped out but it turned out that Ms.Lees told them about my goal too! My peers helped me a lot with this little goal. I know I have a lot more to go, so I'll remind my friends again to ask me whenever they see me online and now, I could try to set my goal to go on Facebook for 30 minutes and decrease the amount everyday.  
     My second little goal that was part of my big goal was to not take naps afterschool. I don't think I've been doing so well with this one because I haven't been getting lots of sleep lately and I can't concentrate if I'm tired usually. I think this one's the hardest because I can't help it. It's just my body that's tired and that can't concentrate. I really should get in the habit of sleeping earlier so I don't take anymore naps. I tried to reach this little goal by myself but I don't think it's working that well, so I'm going to tell my sister about it and tell her to remind me if I fall asleep. It'll be hard to not take naps at all suddenly, so I'm going to decrease the amount of time slowly each day. I think this goal is going to be my main goal for the other half of the 30 day challenge! Also, since I took naps, I didn't really get the chance to finish my homework before dinner. I think I succeed maybe for 5 days! At least, I improved a little bit.  
     I feel pretty good about myself with the Facebook part of my goal because decreasing the amount of time on it is a really big thing for me. I could never go off Facebook! It's just so addicting! I think it's going pretty good so far but I'm not so sure about the not taking the nap part. I'm always so tired afterschool so I really need to work on that part a lot more! I haven't looked at all of my peers 30day challenge goals but I have been helping out some of my peers by reminding about their goal and I even discussed about it with some people in the other class (block 4) and it was very interesting to hear their goals! I think almost everyone's trying except for a few that forgot about it! I really hope we can be all successful on our 30 day challenge goals! I think it's time for us to work EXTRA hard because we don't have too much time left!

  1. Hi, everyone! :) Can you guys see the words for this post because I did publish it but I can't see the writing on my computer so I was just wondering!

  2. For some reason it is just a black screen for me with your name on it. Hmmm.... how peculiar! (I have always wanted to use that word)

    1. Yes, same for me too! I don't know why it's doing it... but if you go to posts, you can see it!

    2. Turns out, my font colour was black and it blended in with the background. That's probably why we weren't able to see it! I'm relieved that I don't have to do the whole thing again now, I was scared!

    3. Hahaha, that's really funny. Well it is working now! That would have sucked if you have to rewrite it all over again.
