My WOOP Goal
I want to have an effective system for keeping track of my responsibilities, I will use the app Pomodoro Timer to time my focus and at first I will test and see how long I can go without getting distracted and that can be my maximum and every time I have to focus I can put a timer and take a break when that timer ends. I am hoping this will help me finish my homework on time. I am also hoping that it can help get rid of the distractions like Roblox, procrastination, Instagram and laziness. My habits are avoiding my work by doing anything like saying I can take breaks every five minutes and lying to myself by saying i’ve done enough and I deserve a break to play Roblox and scroll.
Technology and Wellbeing
I used the timer feature in my app to support my goal of staying on track of my responsibilities such as my homework and other tasks. I think technology influences or wellbeing in a good way and bad way. For example, if you use technology only for entertainment then it could lead to an addiction, however if you use it for educational purposes then it can really help with lots of things like having a to-do list or tracking your progress with something.
I think that a strategy I could implement could be turn off all distractions or go to a different room when I need to focus.
Reflection
Something i’ve learned about myself is that usually I tell myself I will do my homework as soon as I get home but I let into the instant gratification and go watch instagram or something. I avoid my homework and instead of doing it right away I tell myself I will do it later and that is a flight response as i’m doing anything to ignore the fact that I have to do my homework. My amygdala is in charge of the FFF response and when I get home I feel overwhelmed thinking about how much homework I have and my amygdala takes this as very stressful so it makes the decision that we have to run from it.
