Wait, you think blogging is GOOD for time management?

I agree with writing stuff down. Make a list of things you want to do. If it's always the same things that you're pushing to your next list, you know you need to put a deadline for it.
Like I always had to make an appointment with some student counsellor. I never got around to it. Now I'll probably miss out on €500 or more because of that.

That sounds familiar. I often start something, but I never finish it. For example, I can draw (sketch) pretty well, but I quit that years ago. People tell me I can write nice stories, so I've been wanting to write more. I rarely take the time. Learning to play guitar is going slower than I want.
I'm quite decent at games like SSBB and Perfect Dark. Just not hardcore enough to be among the elite (to be honest, I don't want to).

The thing I want to be better at most is self-control. I'm often a bit lazy. It's getting better though.
