That behaviour is totally alien to me. My phone is an extension of me -- I'm basically a cyborg. :P

I have a bunch of lists on my phone. I don't like timers/reminders because they're annoying, so I use them rarely. I'm great as making and organizing lists. I've gotten good at following through with some of those lists too. It's just that some things never make it to the top.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Clock's ticking and I can't get my act together.  :( I have till the end of the month to turn in my thesis.

I found the cure for it, I don't know why I didn't try it myself. Took until someone told me.

Yeah...I don't know if I'll even be able to wait for my professor to review my final draft. He's abroad and only returns on the 20th.

I'm trying to control it without having to be that drastic. :P Besides HAF there are other distractions such as Youtube and Netflix so if I can't find it within me to manage my time better nothing will change. :sad sigh:

turn your phone off and put in a drawer

The problem isn't really the phone. I use my computer a lot (especially to research and write my draft) and distraction is just a click away. :sad sigh:
