1) I am bad at multi-tasking.
2) I am easily distracted.
3) I am very good at coming up with ideas and very bad at implementing them.
4) If I am going to get where I want to be, I am going to have to overcome the previous 3 points.

I've decided that it's time for me to stop half-assing my way through LSAT studying. I'm not going to get anywhere at that rate. I very much like to think of myself as someone who does everything perfectly on the first go-round. And when that doesn't seem to be happening, I'm prone to give up and leave.Unfortunately in life, one is rarely able to do everything one tries perfectly on the first attempt. This is a bitter pill for me to swallow.

As a young person, this aspect of my personality caused trouble.
1) I was slow to learn to read because the black symbols on the page didn't make sense to me and I already knew the wonders of reading from having been read to and the effort didn't seem worth it. It shouldn't have to be that hard to get to something I loved that much.
2) I avoided letting my mom teach me how to cook because I KNEW I wouldn't be able to do it right the first few times and I couldn't stand the criticism. This has left me only able to make biscuits with any degree of certainty.
3) I had training wheels on my bike for about a year longer than anyone else my age. I made myself feel better about this by pretending that, with its extra appendages, my bike was actually a horse.

You get the idea, I'm sure. But this means that I'm going to turn on the parts of my personality that SHOULD counteract the parts that are being lazy and frightened of initial failure or lack of success. The stubborn, focused parts that hang onto their goal the way my dog hangs onto her rawhide chew toys. They're very good at coming out when I'm mad, but less good at coming out when I'm settled. Time to practice!
