What can I do to change my habits?

Honestly, there are a lot of things I need to change but one of them would have to be going on Tumblr because it keeps me from achieving my full attention to things like homework and test that I need to study for. Tumblr is just something I enjoy doing I reblog a lot especially about fashion and quotes that I admire very much, I just keep on scrolling and find more interesting pictures I can reblog. I do that repeatedly even though I need to do my homework or do things practical that I actually need to get done and study for my other classes.

Tumblr is the first thing I go on when I wake up to turn off my alarm rather than getting ready to go somewhere I’m still laying down scrolling and re-blogging  for about 10 to 20 minutes than that’s when I get up. It’s honestly a bad habit because I wouldn’t get anything done especially my homework on time, an hour later that’s when I realized I need to get everything done before school starts.

On Wednesday I will be giving up something that I basically can’t live without, Tumblr gives me so much inspiration especially when it come to fashion I’m literally distracted every single day. Of course I would find it very difficult for not being able to go on Tumblr  especially having an app on my phone is even harder because I usually just click on it when I’m bored or whenever I feel like it. I’m kinda excited about the reaction I would have without going on my Tumblr I use to know how to check it not very often but now I check it everyday and it’s hard for me. I’m hoping this exercise will help me a lot to the point that I’m not too obsessed with it as much anymore, I want to learn how to know my limits especially when I’m doing my homework.

I multitask all the time and I believe I can do it very well to the point where I can’t concentrate anymore on the important things that needs to be done. Temple Run used to be a huge distraction to me, I would constantly play non-stop until I hit my high score so I was pretty much playing the game at all times. I knew there was something going on, I wasn’t able to do what I needed to do because I was distracted by the game so I was aware I needed to delete it and it was a good choice. I get distracted easily especially when it comes to technology, even when I’m doing my homework I would be on tumblr and I would blog. I also go on Netflix and I can’t even concentrate on the things that I need to take care of and I tend to forget a lot because technology has taken over my whole life. I wouldn’t consider myself as being addicted like those people on the video we were watching today in class.

The ability for me to focus on a task has diminished my everyday life, When I’m around technology it’s hard for me to stay on task and do the things that I need to do. That’s exactly what I did throughout my junior year technology has literally taken over my high school that I can’t multitask if technology is involved. Technology gives me a new way to be intimate but it also gives me a feeling of being isolated. When I use technology I can isolate myself to everyone even just for a little while it still helps me to feel right about myself. It does help me to communicate with others and it helps me to be connected to people that I truly care about. It helps a lot when it comes to homework whenever you need help on a question Google or any other website will help you with that.

Technology is a great and useful gadget but it does have it’s disadvantages it can really take over everything, when you’re distracted it’s hard to stay out of it because probably a lot of people are using it in front of your face. I’ve learned that having to multitask takes a lot of work but it does feels great but it does have their limits and I’ve learned my lesson throughout my junior year in high school. Being behind in school wasn’t exciting for me at all and now when I’m doing my homework I do try to stay away from technology unless I need to do homework in  the internet. Other then that I try to stay away from it, digital nation has teach me to try and stay away from technology when I have homework.
