Saturday

In the past, I've felt myself anchored to my computer. Over the beginning of this semester I've made a habit of being away from the apartment more often, and interacting with more people - investing in real life and real relationships. During the weekdays, this has gone great. I spend more time at the college talking with people and forging new friendships, and still manage to get quite a bit done.

But the weekends seem to be a different story. I've spent all day in the apt. today, and I don't like it. I feel like I've been unproductive, that I'm waiting for something to happen to me rather than taking control of my own actions. The weekend is slipping away from me, once again.

How do I avoid this? How do I keep myself productive and healthy all week, not just on the weekdays? I don't know if I really have an answer for that question. Maybe coffee shops are the answer, but it's such a pain to lug my books around. I don't know.

So this weekend has been quieter than I would have liked, but that's ok. Despite my lack of self-motivation I have managed to get a fair bit done, and I still have another full day. I think part of the key is getting up early enough on weekends to make full use of the day.

Discipline.
