I don't know why I am so lazy It is always a mystery why I don't have any time for studying. I've been trying to write a journal entry in French everyday but I've already skipped it for 4 days. After not doing the thing that I was supposed to do, I always make up some kind of excuses. Because if I don't have any, it means I was just being lazy and that kind of makes me feel bad. But I have to admit that I am a lazy person. My favorite activity is laying on the bed. I try to work hard but there are so many fun things other than studying. I go on the internet very often and I know it's not very helpful but I can't help myself. So sometimes I look in the mirror and talk to myself. 'Judy stop being lazy and get on the work!'. I listen to myself very rarely. I am so thankful that I don't have a daughter like me. If I were my mom, I would be very annoyed by me.

Sorry Judy! I added the link of the course, but it was removed. Anyway, there is a website called: coursera. okay, then search for Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects. The course will start on the 3rd of October. Good Luck! "keep moving forward" and don't lose hope!

Hello Judy I want to tell you that you are not alone. Most of the students (including myself) are lazy when they want to study a certain subject. There is a process that takes place in our brain. When you want to study a difficult subject or subject you hate. You feel "unhappy", so when you feel "unhappy", your brain tries to search for more pleasant tasks that you enjoy, as a result you feel "happy" (temporarily, of course) , then you start to regret the time you wasted. Well, what should we do? the answer is simple, there is a technique called: Pomodoro ( means tomato in Italian). How to apply this technique? You need to focus for 25 minutes, without any interruptions, when you finish reward yourself. Simple, right? Well, you can search the internet writing Pomodoro, and you will find a lot of apps that apply this technique. Some of the apps will disconnect the internet or block certain websites like: YouTube and Facebook; so you will focus for 25 minutes, then you will get the internet back when you finish. they will give you 5 minutes break then work for another 25 minutes, after your fourth 25 minutes, you will get 15 minutes break. It is an amazing technique to fight procrastination. If you want to know more about studying techniques, I recommend that you take this course (don't worry ;) it for free) <https://www.coursera.org/course/learning> I knew about the Pomodoro technique from the course. I wish you good luck. Fight-O! Fight-O! Fight-O!
