After two weeks of being away from home I realized something. When I am at home I am very, very unproductive. In fact, I do so little that I probably can do more in two hours at my apartment then I can do in one weekend at home. Then again, I sort of attribute this to the fact that my room hasn't been fully clean since about... well... since I got my TV last May.
So in preparation for next school term I plan to make my room a place where I can come and study with ease. I am going to clean it thoroughly and get rid of any junk I do not use. This includes cleaning out my closet, a feat that hasn't been done in about 5+ years. I'm going to try to move around/remove furniture so I can fit another desk in here, if not then remove enough junk that I'll have lots of shelf space. And lastly, I am going to remove about 3/4 of the posters off my walls to help the transition into a 'work' environment.
Removing the anime/videogame/movie posters on my walls and door is a pretty deal for me, considering they've been up for years (at least 6 years for some). But after last school term I know that I need to change in so many ways, and I feel like removing the posters will have a big hand in that. I really just want to let go of the past Karol who these posters represent, and allow room for the new Karol who I hope I will slowly transition into as these next few months pass by.
Once I finally get a working space I just have to concentrate on not getting distracted by the beauty that is cable TV. But I'll worry about that later. Right now all I'm really concerned about is getting this room clean for the first time in almost a year! (And the fact that my room at my apartment also needs cleaning... -_-)
Haha, I've noticed that I'm equally unproductive anytime I go home for any length of time. Somewhere along the line Home became "That place I go to relax" and therefore I tend to spend most of my time either sleeping or seeing friends.
ReplyDeleteEither way I'm not quite sure what the secret to productivity is. On the one hand I feel like I've been somewhat productive this term whilst also knowing I've got the potential to be much, much more productive. It can go either way, really.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Hold on. Who said you need less posters & junk for a work environment. Look at my desk, it's full of that crap and I still get work done. Sorta. Okay, bad example.
ReplyDeleteI didn't remove the posters from my wall until I was 24 and that was when I moved out :/ It does make me sad to see you say goodbye to past Karol. If knowing me has taught you anything, you can still be awesome while being childish. A mature Karol goes against my way of life. I take it as a direct insult! Like a slap to the face! Hmph!
Before you take down the posters in your room...make sure to take lotsa pictures...at good angles. I wish the photos I took of my old room here were better/clearer :( I'm sentimental like that...I don't know if you care. You're probably all "meh".
