Stay away!

This week I knew I had to be creative in my blog post, so I went on a mission. I wanted to do something that made me learn something about myself. As I was reading Twyla Tharp, I came across a very interesting activity. It was named Brew Ruts into Grooves. In this activity Tharp speaking about turning a bad habit into a good one. You are probably thinking that this is impossible. But guess what, it's not! I have many bad habits but one thing that frustrates me the most is going on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram while I'm studying. I end up being on Twitter and Facebook longer than I end up studying! This gets me very distracted and I tend to do it a lot. I had to make it stop. I used what Tharp said in this activity the next time I was studying. I made sure to sit in my room where I always study and not touch my phone. I was working on Terms and names and I told myself every 10 terms I memorize completely I get to go on my phone for three minutes. Believe it or not, this actually helped me with my studying. I thought about it as a little reward to myself. It also kept me motivated to study and memorize those terms and names. I came to the conclusion that I don't really need the social media sites in my life because they are only distractions. They are awesome when I have nothing to do but get in the way of school work very often. After this activity, I have learned to keep away from my phone while doing school work!
