RE: How to change a habit

Studying and reading. I think it was my way of tolerating the unnatural demands of sitting still for extended periods. Now it creeps up when I have deadlines and a lot of work to do in a short time and have to force myself to sit still and work. Or so it seems... It happens less now, now that I am better at managing time.

Sort:  

how did you enhanced your time management?

That took years to learn; but it was a combination of quitting things like social media (I've been facebook free for 3 years), online shopping, and playing "procrastination" games. Then I started getting my hardest work (i.e. writing) done first thing in the morning so I wasn't "cramming" every night. And specifically, relating to my restless hands, I began doing more activities that engaged both of my hands like gardening, cooking, and crocheting.

A lot of new habits there and a continuous work. I feel you about being restless, it's my biggest saboteur and I try also to use my hands more in physical activities. This calms me down. Thanks for sharing
