I have to work towards my goals instead of procrastinating. Realizing and accepting that I tend to procrastinate helped me to look at what aspects of my environment were causing this. First, I took away all distractions, like my phone and books. Then I started doing the Pomodoro timers using lifeat.io. (It's a good website for studying.)These strategies allowed me to focus when working instead of giving up and doing something else. They cleared my perspective and I was able to create definite goals and work towards them.”
