Stop describing yourself with your worst habits. You’re more than your snooze button.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

There is a difference between doing a thing and being a thing. Saying you hit snooze four times is a fact about a morning; saying you are lazy turns it into a category, and categories are much harder to argue with. Labels also make change look pointless, because a habit can be adjusted and a personality apparently cannot.

Take one label you use and rewrite it as a behavior with a time and place attached. Not disorganized, but I do not write things down after class. That version has something you can act on by Thursday.
