    This is was a great talk and I am saving this so I can use the strategy later. I’ve recently adopted a policy of doing the thing I want to do the least, first in the day and that is working greatly so far. I am also trying to respect my mood to some degree by doing the physical tasks when I feel strong and the mental tasks when I feel most alert and creative. I’m a work in progress but your calming exercise will be used regularly for sure. Thank you

    Every day I find myself doing anything I can instead of my school work (I’m in gr10) whether it be social media to just walking around my room to even thinking of all the excuses to get more time to work.. and when I get more time I procrastinate that!!
    I feel like I’m wasting my time all my life and that there’s always someone better than me that I’ll never be so why should I bother to even try ?
    Maybe that’s my tinyT??
    I hope one day I’ll make it out of this prison I’ve put myself in
