Set goals step by step so that you can track your improvement.
Resist temptation and avoid distractions while you study.
Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do.
Complete the questionnaire and find out how good your self-control is.
Mostly “a”
You are the captain of self-control, the ruler of self-regulation! Not only are you conscientious and in control of your emotions, it also seems you can resist temptation. Be careful not to take everything so seriously though. Try to relax more and once in a while, do something impulsive.
Mostly “b”
Hmm… whilst you seem to have grasped the basics of self-management, there is still room for improvement! Take a step back and think about how you could be more focused on your goals and gain more control of your emotions.
Mostly “c”
Far from being in control, it seems your emotional impulses and temptations are controlling you! Don’t just sit back and let things happen. Assess and find out what’s going wrong and draw up a plan of action. Try to stick with it!
He who abandons time, time abandons him.
-----Shakespeare
