This is just a little reminder to myself to try and improve my study skills.
Number 5 - Driving around with friends for no reason. I spend about five hours a week doing this and it is pretty pointless because we have no destination.
Number 4 - Social Events. While these are a lot of fun I spend quite a bit of time in these. At least ten to fifteen hours a week. I want to cut it down but still do it occasionally.
Number 3 - Television. I think this is the most pointless one. I spend probably around ten hours a week watching it and don't even enjoy it. Replace with reading.
Number 2 - Naps. These will be difficult to give up. I'm accustomed to one each day after school so they add up to about five to ten hours a week. Get more sleep at night.
Number 1 - Video Games. Ah the games. This is going to be the hardest to give up. I think they can be a valuable tool to learn problem solving but not at the rate that I use them. At probably around twenty one hours a week I could definitely cut this down a bit.
I have a few more petty things I also do but those should be very simple to change. It will not be an easy task but I think I can manage a change.
