evolution of strategies (5B)

When I did my time study I was for the most part not surprised. I was proud that I was spending about 35 hours a week on homework and studying which is the recommended amount and was happy that I had about 45 hours or socializing and relaxation. This seemed to be above the class average for both categories. I consider both of these to be great successes in terms of what I want out of college; however I think I get more sleep than I really need. I sleep on average 10-11 hours a night. And while that not the highest in the class I still feel I could be doing more useful things instead of sleeping so much. This is my one downfall during my first few weeks. And I think the problem is I don’t think before I sleep. Most times if I feel tired I just go to bed, even if my alarm is set for 11 hours later. Sometimes I feel tired but it’s really just been a long day and I’m more “pooped” than legitimately tired. When this happens I spend hours awake trying to fall asleep simply because I’m not actually ready for bed yet. This is a small goal I want to achieve in the coming weeks. In the past 4 weeks I have been experimenting with different study habits and work strategies. This week I have analyzed how they have worked and whether or not I will continue them. And now I need to dismiss the failed parts, continue the good, and figure out new things to replace the failed parts. This is what I need to do now but I will use this strategy of evolving for future problems as well. So now a question to the reader, in your own life what is something you need to evolve around?
