I appreciate the fact that this topic was titled "Work on Good Habits", not "Good Habits" or "How I Always Have Good Habits." I am far from perfect when it comes to maintaining consistent good habits, but I have been working on and continue to work towards this goal.
I have always been fairly punctual, since both my mom and dad are sticklers for punctuality. I am actually not as strict about showing super early now as I used to be, which is somewhat surprising considering the fact that I used to live in a country where "on time" usually meant three hours later than the time written on the invitation. I guess I am just more busy now so I can't afford to leave for something earlier than I have to. Regardless, I still do try to be on time and feel bad when I am late for anything.
As for thoroughness, I think I am very thorough person. I am hardworking, and a perfectionist, and often go the extra mile on a project or an assignment just to make it a tad bit better. I hate leaving out details or not including interesting information in my work. Being in a college setting like this has only increased my desire to perform well and be thorough, though I have learned not to be so demanding and tough on myself when it comes to grades.
Organization is definitely the habit I struggle with the most. I like to think of my personal space as "organized-cluttered." I realize it may be a little messy looking, but I do know where everything is! I'll admit that organizing my personal belongings is a lot easier than organizing my time, however. I have never been very disciplined time-wise, but in high school, procrastination really doesn't have the same consequences as it does in college. I found this out the hard way. After many late nights and days spent desperately trying to stay awake in my classes, I realized something needed to be done. I began using an organizer for the first time ever so I could get a better idea of exactly when upcoming papers were due. I began to make a concious effort to get things done as soon as possible and not wait till the last second. I think I am gradually getting the hang of being productive with my time and it is a lovely feeling!
