The Art of Procrastinating

Anybody in college is familiar with procrastinating. Whether it is music, Facebook, sports, or video games, you are most likely to procrastinate. But there ARE ways to work around it.

Personally, I am a huge procrastinator. It is so simple to open the internet to my top sites, and just click Facebook. I find myself on it for a long periods of times, and then I get frustrated that I am not getting anything done!

Since I am a visual learner, seeing what I am doing wrong is almost a slap in the face, and makes me realize that I'm not making the right decisions when doing my work.

For my first strategy to evade procrastinating, I tried the Time Was

ter technique. You do so by separating your activities that waste your time, and than offer solutions to these. I found one of my best decisions was NOT bringing my Playstation to college. Also, I consciously knew that rewarding myself was a little immature, but it still gave me that extra push to f

inish what I am doing without procrastinating. I found this pretty useful.

After seeing that the 24 hour Technique was successful for Courtney and Layla, and we have similar problems with procrastination, I thought I would try these strategy myself. I had multiple readings for History that I have to get done in about a week or two, and I have my History class on Tuesday. I thought it would be a great idea to get started on this, and knock it out of my way since my homework load is currently not to heavy. I knew that I would be able to get this done, since it is only reading and not too many regular assignments. I would go to the library, not even bring my backpack, and only my two books for that class.

With Thanksgiving break coming up, I am confident that I will complete my readings, and Thanksgiving break will be much more stress free! This way, I can complete my other necessary tasks without the readings hanging over my shoulders.

These is my homework for History class. I have those readings to do, and I will get them out my way, so that during Thanksgiving break, I can break my Paper up into pieces, and it needs to be only 3 pages long too!
