Using expressions "Rule out" and "Put off"



Using the expressions "Rule out" and "Put off".
This morning I was listening to my favorite English course and studied two phrasal verbs - "Rule out" and "Put off".
Today I want to try to create an essay using those two words.
It is always easy to start something new but it turns out so hard to keep doing it regularly... Just like my blog.
I started it for the purpose of practice my english writing. Fortunately I was going to school so I had some time to write during the lessons. I had hoped to write every day, just a few paragraphs. But when I finished school I became even busier because there were so many things that I had to put off during school that needed to be done! These things gave me good reasons to put off my blog writing. It's not that I forgot about my blog, but that I just postponed the writing for tomorrow. And when that "tomorrow" came there was something else to take care of. Finally I realized that I would never have any spare time for my writing. I remembered my first blog that said "make a habit, make time". It sounded so reproaching!
I thought that I better rule out some unimportant errands from my daily "to-do" list. Needless to say that those trivial things like checking SNS or rearranging your room furniture take up most of your time when you are alone at home. But those things are so pleasant you can't resist them! When nobody is watching you it's hard to accomplish the most important job first.
