But it's also a good time to reflect on myself, and my working habits, and me in general.
Shan't go into details - as I just decided to post this while taking a break from work. However, came across this Business Insider article (I think it might be "divine intervention), and thought, why not do a tracking of this for myself?
|
Habit to Break
|
Current Status
|
|
Living for the weekends.
|
[In progress]
|
|
Supporting fast fashion.
|
[CLEARED] Nope, I don’t like to support fast fashion. On the
contrary, I think I don’t have enough clothes :P
|
|
Thinking social smoking is ‘OK.’
|
[CLEARED] Nope, don’t smoke.
|
|
Clinging on to friendships that have run their course.
|
[In progress] First I need to see which friendships have “run their
course”
|
|
Not having a bed time.
|
[In progress] Now my bed time is defined by how tired I feel, not
defined by a habit.
|
|
Thinking that you can rely on your metabolism to keep weight off.
|
[In progress] So guilty of this…. Right now my metabolism is still in
good shape.
|
|
Drinking cheap wine.
|
[CLEARED] I think I’m choosy enough for the alcohol I drink, and I
drink with friends who know their alcohol (:
|
|
Taking special moments with friends for granted.
|
[In progress] Trying my best. But not sure if I’ve achieved what this
statement entails
|
|
Compromising on what you deserve in a relationship.
|
[In progress] What do I deserve?
|
|
Doing things because you think you ‘should.’
|
[In progress] Technically I’m never forced to do things. But then
again, how do I discern between “should” and “want”?
|
|
Putting your physical health before your mental health.
|
[CLEARED] I think I’m ok with this. I’m ok with all the physical
health habits that I’ve been putting myself through.
|
|
Fad diets.
|
[CLEARED] What are fad diets?
|
|
Not collecting membership points and air miles.
|
[In progress] Yup, the uncle in me is doing it. Haven’t reached the final
goal, but certainly on the path.
|
|
Spending time with people who make you feel insignificant.
|
[In progress] So far have been blessed with friends who do not do
this to me (:
|
|
Buying non-eco friendly cleaning products.
|
[CLEARED] Can I disqualify this? :P
|
|
Cancelling plans at the last minute.
|
[In progress] Yup, word.
|
|
Running out of money at the end of the month.
|
[CLEARED] Privileged enough to not have to meet this issue. Guess
that’s the benefit of living with working parents.
|
|
Putting off difficult conversations.
|
[In progress] Yup, more word.
|
|
Kidding yourself about things that are important.
|
[In progress] Yup, even more word
|
|
Barely drinking any water.
|
[CLEARED] On the contrary, I drink enough water to go toilet more
often than necessary.
|
|
Staying out all night on a regular basis…
|
[In progress] Well, I stay out all night for OT. And I do stay out
for drinks now regularly.. maybe once a week? But that should be fine I hope.
|
|
…Then wasting entire days hungover.
|
[CLEARED] Got hungover once. But that’s all. More of wasting entire
days to Dota/Youtube/Sleep. But I think I have managed this.
|
|
Midnight McDonald’s stops.
|
[CLEARED] Same as the previous ones. I do this occasionally – now still
young so can!
|
|
Not looking after your teeth.
|
[In progress] This reminds me I’m supposed to go for a dental checkup
since 6 months ago.
|
|
Not wearing sunscreen.
|
[CLEARED] Got natural sunscreen – melanin.
|
|
Constantly worrying about what people think.
|
[In progress] Oh man… also constantly worrying what people feel.
|
|
Not having a long-term plan.
|
[In progress] Yup!
|
|
Not sending back unwanted online purchases.
|
[In progress] I don’t really shop online. But I’ll include this as my
version: not unnecessarily buying things.
|
|
Trying to store all important dates and appointments in your head.
|
[In progress] Well, this is the cause of this shit.
|
|
Buying a coffee each morning.
|
[CLEARED] Never needed. Lucky. Let’s hope it stays this way.
