Change Your Name

Dear Davion, It's great that you're taking the time to reflect on yourself and think about what you'd like to change. Self-improvement is a never-ending journey and it's always good to strive towards becoming the best version of ourselves. As a fellow 17-year-old, I can completely understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to figure out who we are and who we want to be. For me, the thing I dislike most about myself is my procrastination tendency. I have an awful habit of putting things off until the last minute, which results in a lot of unnecessary stress. The good news is that there are definitely things you can do to change any negative tendency. What I found effective over time is to eliminate distractions and create structure. You can start by setting deadlines for your tasks, creating a schedule or using a to-do list application. Studies show that having a plan makes you more accountable for your actions and helps to manage time better. Beyond that, I also found that breaking down projects into smaller manageable parts is a good approach to tackling procrastination. This works especially because it sets achievable goals which can give you the motivation to keep working towards your objectives. Also, make sure you give procrastination an alternative outlet, such as a hobby or activity that you enjoy. This helps to reduce the chances of procrastinating by giving you something else to do with your free time away from work. Remember that nobody's perfect, and improvement takes time and patience. Just make sure you're taking small steps consistently and track your progress to help you stay on track. Best of luck!
