Are you a person who can control yourself well?

I don't think I am good at self controlling. For example, getting up in the morning, I had told myself many many times that I should get up early in the morning(7 am to 7:30am), however, most times I get up at 8 am, or sometimes even 10 am. Other things are the same. At first, I have a plan to schedule the time, at last the plan cann't be finished because I can't finish everything on time. How about you, mylotter? Can you control yourself well?

i can't either, for many things, getting up at a fixed time, following plans, many things, i guess that's why i end up here right now in my life, that's not the only reason, but definitely a important one. anybody has any good idea about self controlling management? but no matter what how many advice we are given, we, ourselves is the key, eventually we are the ones who can actually do the work.

It depends on the situations that I'm in, but it's always hard to force oneself to do something unwillingly. I'm a person who like to take ease, and I try to live as freely as possible, so I don't put too many limits then be tired to follow the rule. But under a good motivation, I become more serious and once set a rule, I respect it. Getting up is just a small case. I get up before working time sothat I'm not late, but I don't have to get up too early and I never fix a time to get up. It comes after I have slept enough, otherwise, it's useless if I fall asleep in my office. Also for each task, I try to finish it as soon as possible, and if I have the right to finish it when I want, I won't set up a precise time to finish it, so evrything is always done on time.

Well, I'd have to say that it depends on the situation! Take for instance when I buy groceries. I will sit down and plan out menus for the next couple of weeks. Then I make a list before heading to the store. But, it seems that no matter how organized I try to be, I always see something that is not on my list. And unfortunately, it's always dessert or junkfood!

me too.i can't control myself well.for example,i want to get up at about 7 and for it,i set up my alarm,but in fact,the alarm rang and i didn't get up.The stuation like this happen to me many times and at last my roomates begin to complain me and said me not to set up the alarm if i cant get up when the alarm rang.There is another thing i can take for the examle that is the my diet.you know,i am fat ,and sometimes i want to lose my weight so i had to control my diet.but i cant persist to the end.i always fall by the way.in the result,now i am still a fat girl.it's a pity,isn't it .

Whether I can control myself well on basis of my mood, If I didn't have a good mood, then I can't. on the contray, I will control my self very well.
