Relapse procrastination

So I am a college student who do not study at all but I got As and Bs as final grade. However, I want to push myself to do more because I know I can. I just dont have the will power. My time management skill I had worked on a month ago was good until I lapse again and back to square one. How do I be consistent after being persistent? I don't know what to do. I want to keep my scholarships and I have Spanish 3rd level that I haven't taken in two years and that's the only class I'm struggling in. I work everyday except weekends. I want to sleep when I study and I want to study when I prepare to sleep. I wake up in the morning and don't have time to make myself breakfast like I use to and I know it is important. I'm struggling...I need to be consistent and I don't know how to. Help me....!!!!

It seems to me that you have answered your own question. It starts with persistence. For some of us consistency is natural; for others it is a process that we want to turn into a habit. It really does start with your own determination; okay so, you take a few days and don't accomplish the tasks that you know you should. Once that time is done, make getting back on task fun for yourself. You could set your alarm for an hour and focus on one subject during that hour, Then give yourself an hour and 30 minute break. You may even consider investing in a planner. I do better with paper than electronic planning; but electronic planning may be your thing. For me, writing it down and feeling the page makes me want to be consistent. What I write I must do. Start with one hour , that's a good place to start.

Bro I messed up in college and my heart has hurt every day ever since! Don't make the same mistake as me! I wish I was in your shoes! This is a great place to look for some assistance! And dude also, this is what I would do, join a christian group in school! Pray for EACH OTHER! and walk with each other too, enjoy the same things, experience the same things! Another christian who knows this world is a fight and you can go to classes with will help! And of course enjoy the material in school, kinda like submitting to those God puts to take care of you. Like your teachers who are another representation of Him! Love!

Hello again!!!
Andydn54, I have been better with my discipline this time around. Yes, I agree on your perspective of making it become a habit. Once I had started and the first two weeks were my most challenging. However, I did not stop there. I had 5 classes in the summer and assignments were due everyday so I had to be consistent and I kept that with me even now into the Fall semester. So...:thank you.

Birukabate,

Yes, I have decided that I want to have discipline all around the various aspects of my life which includes my spiritual life: and it has been working. For me, I turned everything into a routine. I wake up in the morning and spend sometime with God before I do anything else. I make better food choices that will help my body to feel more pure. I spend less of my time watching TV shows that are not constructive and more time watching the one that will give me constructive knowledge. I try to ensure that my constructive time is spent mostly by reading and spending time with my though process (if that makes sense). Thank you and FYI, I am a woman.
