#3 Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

1. Do you procrastinate sometimes?

• Yes

2. What are some of the things you procrastinate on?

• Exam review for studying certificate books, mid-term and final exams

3. What are some reasons for procrastination?

   I think the reasons may be:

• Laziness

I think everyone has it no matter who it is? It's just that I don't want to do it now! But this will become the saying goes: sweet first bitter later.

• The best laid plans

Sometimes even if you plan to do something one day, unexpected things will always happen. For example, the mid-term exam is usually one week. Due to the school's implementation of distance learning, or there are national holiday before the mid-term exam, the originally scheduled exam is divided into several weeks, which may affect the originally planned.

Just like I originally expected to spend three weeks to study the certificate book, but the mid-term exam is divided into three weeks. Weekly preparation for mid-term exam, I don’t have much time to study the certificate book, and in the end, I may only have one or two weeks left to study.

4. What are some strategies you can use to combat your procrastination?

• Think about the consequences of procrastination

Maybe you can force yourself not to procrastinate by thinking about the consequences of procrastination.

• Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today

It's today's work, and it's done today so there will be no procrastination!

However, there are many things that cannot be done in one day, so you need to plan and manage your time well, and you need to be self-disciplined.

• With good time management 

Effective time management may improve the best laid plans, and the procrastination will slowly disappear.

• While you can use these strategies to combat procrastination, it’s really not easy!
