USING TIME

I keep to the times I have allocated for a task, setting reminders

and alarms if I need them to help me.

I am strict with myself at keeping to my planner and schedule, not

letting myself do the more enjoyable tasks until I have completed

the priority ones on my planner (I’ll get on with the priority less

interesting tasks, even if I do not feel like it).

I can be disciplined with myself, tolerating the unpleasant feeling of

difficulty or boredom to stay with a task until I have completed it.

I can tolerate the unpleasant feeling of challenge, difficulty or

repetition to keep going with a task to finish it, even if I am not

enjoying it.

I can use strategies such as chunking of the task or time to help me

have the energy and focus to complete the task.
