Things You Constantly Do.

Over the past several years, I have tried to solve some of my problem with self-control. I would often find myself being scurrilous. I would use vulgar words over nothing of importance. Another common problem of mine was procrastination. I would always wait to get my projects done until the night before they needed to be complete. My use of seminar time has also become an issue for me. Most days in seminar I would sit and talk to the people around me rather than do something constructive. These problems had become a hindrance to my life and I was determined to fix them.

My first, and biggest, problem was my use of bad language. I used to walk around the house when my parents weren't home and swear for no reason, except to hear the sound of my voice. My problem with this had gotten so bad that when I would walk past my parents, not knowing they were there but later found out they were, I would become nervous and try to remember if I had said anything vulgar. After that even had occurred several times, I decided to stop the bad habit. I started to force myself to be quiet, even when my parents weren't home. If I felt like I was going to say something vulgar, I would stop myself before anything could come out of my mouth. After several weeks, I had broken the habit

Procrastination had become a common problem of mine that needed to be fixed. Every time I would be assigned homework or any other type of project, I would always wait as long as I could to get started on it. This caused me to stay up until one or two o'clock in the morning getting projects done. I would always get them done but the next day; I would always be falling asleep in class and never able to pay attention. This problem started to not only affect my grades but also my ability to learn, and I it needed to stop. I started with small steps to help the problem. Whenever I would get an assignment that would take around ten minutes to complete, I would get it done on the day it was assigned. Then, over time, I found myself more alacrity to get the homework done and enjoyed the extra sleep at night.
