keeping appointments and staying on time

I make a list. Any tasks that I think of that would be a good idea to complete, I write down. It feels good to cross shit off, so it works for me.

I happen to do that with my schoolwork. Sometimes with doctors appointments too.

For the most part I stuck to it. I faltered at about 2AM when I decided fuck it I'd rather play Borderlands 2 than study for my mid term. But, I think that was to be expected of a simpleton like me.

I downloaded an app called Habitica, it looks pretty interesting; might fiddle around with it later.

Basically gamified task management.

I've been using an app called LifeRPG to keep track of things, although you still need to remember to check or set reminders whenever you make a new task.
I forgot to check and didn't set a reminder, so here I am awake at 2:20am doing a math assignment due at 8am.

that looks pretty sick I think I might try it

I hardly ever use my stock calendar in my phone, I mean, I never write reminders or other things because I don't do that stuff, if I do, I will forget easily or my phone WILL NOT notify me about that, I'm a mess I know.

Just about an hour or two ago, I installed a customizable Site Blocker to curb my bad habit of unthinkingly opening Reddit every couple minutes. I found that I was a lot happier and more articulate when I didn't subscribe to junk-humor sites like that.

As you can tell, it's worked out splendidly thus far.

I do this too! I think I got into the habbit during the end of summer holidays where I was pretty much bored and demotivated all day. I'm trying to get back into a focussed mindset, but I just blocked it into the hosts file.

I'll probably end up creating a pomodoro-style tool which locks me out of certain websites and certain programs when i'm trying to concentrate.
