This week I chose to use Is vs. Wants and through this problem solving strategy created my own as well. A big issue for me is lack of time and often I find myself in that frantic mode on Sundays because of the work that has piled up. Because I am in VPA with long studio classes there is little time on the weekdays to complete big projects due for the following week. To address this issue, I used this problem solving strategy in order to create a more desirable weekend.
With Is. vs. Wants I was able to write out this situation and develop a more desirable one instead. In order to create a stress-less weekend for myself, I mapped out what work I need to complete on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so that I can evenly distribute the assignments throughout these three days. In this weekends homework plan I decided to do only one assignment on Saturday while there are three assignments I will complete on Sunday. Although this disrupts the balance I knew that Saturday was a busier day and realistically would not be able to complete more than one assignment.
This technique worked very well for me and was a great way to organize my assignments. I was determined and focused because I knew that if i fell behind schedule, my strategy and plan to create a more desirable situation would be ruined for that weekend. Is vs. Wants is a great way to motivate yourself and for other procrastinators like me I definitely suggest using this strategy.
