That Make My Life Harder Than It Has To Be

Inspired by Sheryn, I thought I’ll do the same list she did. So I wanted to evaluate myself and find out where I can improve on. These are my strange habits that make my life harder than it has to be:

  1. Not checking or asking for the price when shopping. For some reason, I hate asking for the price, I’m terrible at haggling anyway, but this often leads me to trouble.
  2. Never use Caps Lock, especially on my mobile phone.
  3. Like Sheryn, never clean my windscreen. I don’t see the point why I have to clean it all the time when I can still see through it.
  4. “Not using things I bought for a specific need because I consider my current need to not be legitimate enough to warrant that item’s use.” See the stack of unused notebooks.
  5. “Trying to cut my food with the side of a fork instead of a knife.”
  6. Using a fork all the time when there are spoons.
  7. Buying mobile phone cases to protect the phone but using them only for a day.
  8. Throwing and deleting things. I have this tendency to throw or give away my things, most of the time as a way to punish myself.
  9. Writing To Dos on pieces of paper when not only do I update my Google calendar but I also keep a journal. This is not a good idea, especially when done with no. 8.
  10. Not speaking up and voicing my opinion and feeling shit about it.
  11. Staying up late at night, having good ideas and stories but not writing them down.
  12. Having Feedly (RSS reader) and still opting to open each website/blog I like, individually.
  13. Downloading TV shows and movies when I can stream them.
  14. Downloading music when I have Spotify Premium.
  15. Being nice most of the time.

I feel like there’s more I need to put on this list. For now, it will do, I guess I’ll just have to update it once in a while.
