My entries seem to be getting later and later. I think in today's entry I will discuss my typical eating and sleeping habits which I believe account largely for me going to bed so late. Over the past few weeks I have been going to bed at 2 am or later and find myself stuck in the habit of going to bed at this time. Its a bad habit that I should get out of as quickly as possible.
So typically my day starts around 6 am after having gone to bed the night before at 4 am. Throughout my day of school I have plenty of energy but as soon as I get home I wind up taking a nap for a good 4 hours. My mom complains a lot that I am working myself too hard and that managing my time better would help me go to bed earlier. Around 7 pm I have gotten enough rest to be kicked out of bed by mom as it is time to do my homework/eat dinner. Neither things really happen at 7 pm. Usually we have dinner around 8-9 pm. Between taking a break after dinner and going on YouTube I wind up starting my homework around 10 pm or later.
The work load isn't a lot but I am faced with many distractions. The biggest would have to be how easily I can get distracted. I'll be writing an essay that typically takes 30-40 minutes and wind up spending an hour and half between talking to friends, messing around with iTunes, and doing everything else besides writing the essay.
One solution would be distorting myself from these distractions. I would say that if I didn't talk to people on Skype, use the internet, or listen to music while doing my homework things would get done a lot quicker. The amount of time I usually spend doing my homework is mostly lost to goofing off with the things listed above. Even right now I am talking to someone on Skype.
Eliminating these distractions would save me a lot of time but still doesn't insure me a good working environment. Often the things that go on in my house prevent me from concentrating and getting my work done. I literally can get any work done until its 7 pm or later due to the bickering that engulfs my house. Its either an argument between my mother or my brother that makes it almost impossible to get anything done. However at night, I am able to work in peace and quiet. I will be scolded for being up so late but at least I can get my work done without any interruptions.
I finally do finish my homework around 3 am and wake up the next day for the same routine that is wearing me down little by little. I can't keep going to sleep so late or I will fall asleep in class. One thing that I should do is eliminate all distraction so that I can save myself some time doing my homework and maybe go to bed at 1 am instead of 3 am.
Wish me luck, Hector Guzman
