Tell everyone your plan

Have you ever made a plan for summer or winter vacation claiming that you would study hard throughout the whole period, but finally ended up giving up at the halfway point or even never started to carry it out? If your answer is YES, I would like to tell you that you are not alone.

When it comes to vacations, I always come up with an extremely detailed plan starting from early morning to midnight. Nevertheless, everyday I oversleep and make up an excuse for myself by swearing that tomorrow I will stick to the schedule. However, day after day, new school term is coming again, which indicates my failure to implement the original plan.

I have sought many solutions hoping I can get rid of this dilemma. Eventually I find that making public commitment works for me. To be more specific, whenever I devise a grand plan for a long time, I deliberately post it on social network in return for a public supervision. With this kind of method, when I run out of energy and want to escape, I am immediately aware of the commitment I have already made in front of the public. Fearing the embarrassment resulted from failure, I force myself to keep to the schedule until getting my goal.

I cannot promise this solution will have a effect on you, but I do advise you to give it a try.
