Earning my day

I have always been a vey very lazy person when it comes to exam preparation. When I was in my 7th standard, my mom gave up on me and then roped in this guy I used to call and still call him "Tuition Bhaiyya" (Bhaiyya in Hindi means Brother) just to make me sit at a place for an hour and finish my math and physics assignments. I remember I used to show him what hell is like. But, of course he was the most patient guy ever and I am what I am in my basics because of him and that's another different story altogether!

So, I have been thinking about this a lot for the past few months. Why am I sooo lazy regarding the most important part of my life? I have to write these supposed to be 'tough' Actuarial exams ( To know more about Actuarial Science click here:http://www.actuaries.asn.au/becoming-an-actuary/what-does-an-actuary-do) in order to progress in the career I chose for myself. 

I tried to think if the reason for my laziness was may be I din't like the subject after all. But soon I realised that this is not the case. Because I enjoy reading a text book chapter like a story and keep getting so many ideas and thoughts and questions IF I WANTED TO! This, 'IF I WANTED TO' had become an integral part of my answer to why I was lazy. 

I needed some kind of incentive. In school, my mother used to give me small little incentives. When, my english grades were low, while helping me learn grammer in the summer break, she used deposit Re1 for a page each of the exercise book I finished. So, similarly I thought for the up coming exams, to make myself prepare properly I need to give myself incentives such as..

..i love to watch these daily hindi serials (only couple of them)..I usually watch them early in the morning while having coffee and when I am all by myself. But now I decided to switch this routine - I tell to myself to finish a Question Bank and then watch one serial. I was successful 7/10 so far.

..Another thing I looooooove to do online is SHOP! wow! nothing excites me more than web shopping..there's no pre-condition that I have to buy something, just simply drool over stuff! Now, I do it at the end of the day before sleeping, after I have finished reading what I had to!

These are very simple to-start-off, to-get-me-going incentives I decided to do for myself, for my precious exams. Believe me its so difficult for somebody like me, who's mind can easily wander off to million other ideas around, to stick to this regime! But I am doing good so far and I am proud of myself!

..ok then got to go and EARN MY DAY!
