My phone serves as a major distraction to me and is the key to my constant procrastination.]]> 2016-10-24 14:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/132700030 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/132706444 2016-10-24 14:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/132706444 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133211449 I used to be a strong reader, and always had my head in a book, however once I got my smart phone in about 7th grade all of this changed. My mom continually pointed out how much of a book worm I used to be before I got my phone, but now that I had it that hobby began to decrease in interest each year. My phone has also lead to grades in which could have been better. Although I am an A and B student those A's and B's could've been higher if I was not distracted by my phone. This mistake is something that definitely needs to be fixed, and once it does It will be something I have learned from and will never forget.]]> 2016-10-26 02:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133211449 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133212879 I have tried multiple things to fix this problem. For example I have tried willingly to leave my phone with my mom until I get my work done, as well as trying to turn it off until I am completed with my work. However these strategies stuck with me for only about a day, I felt like I always needed my phone on and next to me for easy access in case I got bored or needed a "break" while doing my work. When in reality I didn't need a break nor was I bored, I was just distracted by my phone, and constantly thinking about what messages I could've gotten or what is new in the social world.]]> 2016-10-26 02:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133212879 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133213717 After these attempts or strategies to get my mind off my phone I still had the problem of how will I get back into my reading habits (outside from school reading) and how will i truly fix my phone problem regarding when it comes to doing my homework, studying, and not procrastinating]]> 2016-10-26 03:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133213717 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133213936 Ever since Facebook came out which was around the time I was enrolled in middle school I always wanted one, because it was a trend. All my friends had one and I felt that I needed one too. When Twitter, Instagram, and all of the other social media apps came out I felt the same way. However, my mom kept me away from social media, because she stated that there were to many dangers on the internet, and that I needed to stay focused on my school work. To this day I thank her for making this decision, because I  still do not own any type of social media because I know if she had not made this decision I would be even more distracted by my phone than I am now.]]> 2016-10-26 03:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133213936 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133214937 2016-10-26 03:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133214937 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215142 2016-10-26 03:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215142 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215222 2016-10-26 03:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215222 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215546 I believe that If me and my parents sit down and talk more about my phone habits we could come up with a solution and plan that could limit the amount of time I spend using my phone which could indeed help with my problem, and help me become a better student.]]> 2016-10-26 03:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215546 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215956 The risks I am willing to take when it comes to my phone problem would be little things such as leaving my phone in my backpack or car throughout the whole school day so that I am sure it wont interfere with my school studies. Another risk I am willing to take is having my parents set new passwords on my phone when it is time to study, work on my homework and projects, as well as catching up on my reading so that I am unable to unlock my phone and use it when my work needs to be done. ]]> 2016-10-26 03:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133215956 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133216418 If I find these new strategies tricky I could practice this new task even when I do not have work to do, just so that I can distance myself more, and more from my phone.]]> 2016-10-26 03:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133216418 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133216681 If my technique of practicing the new strategy even when I do not have work to do does not work I could always seek help and assistance from fellow teachers, and friends to see their view on my situation, as well as to see if they have any strategies of their own that they practice that could help me. ]]> 2016-10-26 03:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133216681 00019354 https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133216955 I will tackle this challenge by starting back at the beginning by giving my mom my phone while doing my homework and so on.

As I made it I realize that these are strategies that could truly work, and help me become the student I strive to be. So far I have made all A's this first quarter of senior year. Therefore, my goal is to keep making straight A's for the rest of my senior year with the absence of distraction due to my cellphone. ]]> 2016-10-26 03:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/00019354/w08ne91f4cz9/wish/133217371
