Hi everyone,
Everyone can be a pro at procrastination when they want to be but trust me, it's not the best trait to have in the world...
Procrastination is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute".
Procrastination has been linked to a number of negative associations, such as depression, irrational behaviour, low self-esteem, anxiety, poor study habits, and neurological disorders such as ADHD. Others have found relationships with guilt and stress.
If any of these sound like you then seek help from a
trained therapist or psychiatrist.
However if, like me, you just do it to put something off (as described in the definition above)
because you don't want to do your homework or you would rather watch TV than
revise for that end-of-topic test you have next week then you need to decide
yourself what is your best option.
To help me get over procrastination I do 1 hour of solid revision or work
then take the length of a programme or 30 minutes of reading time to use it as
a sort of reward, this is helping me more and more and if you have decided that
you want to do better in tests then I would suggest trying out this method.
I also try and do all the homework I got that day the day I got it because
then at the weekend you will not have all your homework piled up on your desk
and you can do something fun.
Sometimes if I have a big test coming up, I put my phone, e-reader, DS and
anything else in a box and my mum guards it for the morning and then I can have
it back in the afternoon as reward. This may seem a little stupid but it really
does work and it helps me to concentrate on my revision.
Hope this helps some of you
♥
