I am not going to worry
about this speech. I have two weeks to turn this in. 1 week and six days
later……….OMG! It is 5:30 and I haven’t even started my speech. We have
soooooooooo much homework and such little time! This is me pretty much every
day with my homework. Last week I had an essay + a speech + a poster due in 2
days and I hadn’t even started. It was due on a Friday and on Wednesday night I
was struggling to get it done on time in order to turn it in to my teacher so
that he could correct it. Luckily, he didn’t yell at me for turning it in
really late. I had it coming! Anyway, procrastination is a B-A-D idea. It might
seem easy to say: Oh! I won’t worry about the paper due on Tuesday. The next
thing you know is that it is Monday night and you are going as fast as you can
to get your paper finished on time. Even I am procrastinating on my literature
circle assignment due tomorrow and I haven’t even read the chapters and it is
9:45!
You want to make
sure that you have enough time to finish your assignment ahead of time so that
your teacher can have the possibility to go over it if you wish. The more time
you have to complete your assignment, the better it will be. Try to make weekly
goals in order to win over procrastination. If you finish your homework ahead
of time, treat yourself to something that you enjoy. Always keep this in mind:
If you don’t take care of it now, it will return to hunt you back later.
What do you procrastinate
on?
Hugs,
