Eisenhower Matrix: There are two categories. Urgent, and Important.

Something can be:

  • important but not urgent (walking the dog)
  • urgent but not important (phone ringing)
  • urgent and important (deadline for a major essay)
  • not urgent and not important (wasting time on tumblr)

There is no formula for what to prioritize, but categorizing puts things in perspective. 

Categorize, decide what needs to be done, and do it!

Do you ever feel like you’re missing out on so much just because of being who you are and not someone else? Whenever I see a beautiful girl I wonder how it must feel to be that beautiful and if I’ll ever feel like that. Or when I see someone who’s confident and extroverted and I imagine how nice and easy it must be to be that way. Or when I see someone that’s my age who has already accomplished so much or been in so many places and experienced so many things, I can’t help but feel like time is falling from my hands like sand and I’m not getting better or going anywhere. I grew up watching movies and reading stories that made me believe that life was supposed to be constantly exciting and I haven’t felt that way many times and I just feel so stuck being myself. I wish I could be someone else for a while.

How to...FAIL (not your conventional studyblr post)

While there are many success posts on studyblrs, I have rarely seen one talking about failure. Unfortunately, I think we sometimes value success so much that we forget about failure. Failure is an inevitable part of success.  So, without further ado, here are 3 steps on how to fail. 

1) The 24 hour rule

Give yourself 24 hours to grieve over your failure. Yes, its okay to break down and cry in bed! You have tried (so very hard) and your efforts seemed to have gone to waste. There is no point in wasting energy by forcing yourself to be optimistic immediately. Be sad. Be angry. You are entitled. 

2) Reflect

Your 24 hours are up. Now is the time to get over it. Yes, you have failed but are you really going to give up? Really? Not the slightest chance in hell. So grab a pen and look over your errors. Detach yourself from the emotional aspect and analyze your failure. What went wrong? What should you do next time? What can you improve on?

3) Get back up and try again

It’s time to dust off your scraped knees and get up again. Because who cares if you fail? Nobody succeeds on the first try. You have no place to go but up.  Now you know that you capable of handling failure and getting pass it. Remember, failure is dead but you are alive. In the end, the key to success is failure. 

It’s ohkay to fail guys: Stay strong and carry on!
