3.学习反馈
A friend of mine told me that he couldn't concentrate on what he needs to do yesterday. He thinks it because of laziness. Actually, everyone may be lazy sometimes. What he must face is that he mismanage priorities, like ignoring distractions, such as social media and text messages, delaying important tasks that need to be done every day which may greatly influence his future. We don't want to rush through our life and fall behind schedule. After he masters time management skills, he won't procrastinate next time. Our long term goals will be reached.
