working on impulse.

When you're on the brink of inspiration, determination, or suddently have a thought or idea that you have a good instinct about, it's best to act on it as soon as you can!! Even if that "act" is studying. Hmm, let's say you're in class and you're planning out your to do list like "i need to study this first and read that next and work on...." blah blah... don't put it off, JUST DO IT! because i feel like when you're mind is in that planning mode, there's drive behind it and you need to take advantage of it (no matter how big or small that impulse is) so that you don't end up dreading it or paying for it later (e.g. procrastination). do more than just talk, actually pull through and JUST DO IT. (word to NIKE)

This is especailly true for those minds whose creative wheels are spinning the fastest at the most random times like while you're walking to class, drinking coffee, driving, showering or eating a burrito. You should write about it or type it in your phone or something while you're in that MODE so you that it's fresh in your head and then later you can edit it instead of forgetting about it or trying to think of that idea again. (even if that means pushing homework/study time because i think it's worth it, plus it's meaningful to you!)

That's what I've been running on lately. Lattes to keep me awake but motivation/determination/inspiration/and other words alike (theasuarus.com would probably be a good resource) to pursue and keep up with what's going on in my head. Even though I may not be able to do those things now at least I've kept track of my goals, ideas, & things to do or want to do.

That's exactly what I did with this blog!

EAT IT UP!
