Once I read the quote, “You may delay, but time will not.”
Benjamin Franklin

Since then it had stayed in my mind with me. But no matter what I tried to make my time useful I always end up being a procrastinator. So I tried this DIY Activity assigned to us by Amal Academy. The task I decided to do was reading the novel I have. I have this Urdu novel Aks by Umera Ahmed with by since January and I planned to end it within 2 months but it is August and I still have not finished it :)

The task was not difficult for me, for first 25 minutes but after the 5 minute break I started getting distracted into my thoughts and started losing my focus. So I wrote my distractions:

I was shocked to see that I was getting distracted by such things. Khair! Do not judge me.

But the bright side is this activity really helped me to focus and accomplish my task. I was able to complete the task I thought I would never do. I am very glad that I tried this activity and forced myself to do the task for 100 minutes with 5 minute break in between. In which I did the tasks I was getting distracted by. But I will honestly say it is a must try thing. It can develop a habit for sure. Yes! I wanted to develop the habit of reading and Yes! I am going to do the task again. Thumbs up! ^-^
