I think this was a huge problem for me in college and have realized I need to be a person of character and take responsability. It's so hard at first but, I agree with the author that it really does help you to start being more honest with yourself which leads to improvement in those areas. For example: my honesty about my chronic lateness helped me to become much more punctual and now when I'm tempted to do "just one more thing" even though i don't have time I find my inner dialogue is more honest and I acknowledge that stopping for coffee will not only make me late but, lead to certain consequences.
