My Mental Projects:

For my mental projects this semester, I focused on focus/procrastination and sleep schedule/stress. My idea was to do two joint projects aimed at improving the main areas of my life where I face mental challenges. My goal is to explore how procrastination and focus influence each other, and how my sleep schedule and stress are connected. I want to identify the cycles that keep these issues persistent and find ways to break them.

Project #1: Focus/Procrastination

In this project, I focused on improving my ability to start tasks on time and stay focused. This joint project combines two related mental skills, focus and procrastination, into one so that I can start my work faster and stay focused when I do.
