It has been nine weeks since I first reflected on my performance in NUS. In the previous reflection, I identified the reasons for my abysmal academic results and proposed ways to rectify the problem. This post will update you on my progress thus far.

With much disappointment, I have not really improved much. I had vowed to free myself from a distracted mind. However, instead of improving or at least stay the way I previously was, I have become even more distracted than the last semester. I am working at a rate where I can only complete half an assignment in as long as two days. The main problem lies with the fact that whenever I am stressed or frustrated about being stuck at an assignment for too long (including writing this post), I tend to form an escapist mentality by taking long breaks which consume a lot of precious time .

Now that the end of the semester is drawing near, overcoming my tendency to procrastinate is becoming urgent once more. None of the solutions that I mentioned in the last post has been carried out. It is paramount that I commit myself to those promises by building up my mental resilience in order to combat my lack of focus.
