1. PROCRASTINATION - Brandon miller
Now for me I think procrastination is a waste of time but here is my take on it. People
procrastinate at some time in their life. As a student, I am certainly positive I have done it many
times. I have spent many evenings cleaning the house or folding the clothes instead of working
on projects with approaching deadlines. Through experience I have learned that there are many
reason why I, and others, procrastinate and getting the concept and understanding these reasons
has given me a new perspective on how to put an end to procrastination So i shall share with you
my insight on procrastination including common reasons for procrastination and strategies to get
rid of procrastination.
For example there is anger and this occurs when we find ourselves avoiding the assignment, The
feelings of anger and resentment against them can translate into an unwillingness to do what they
have assigned you to. This would cause feelings of resentment and result in avoidance.
And with dealing with procrastination, some methods to beating it might work for some people
but not others. Also different tasks may require different methods for overcoming
procrastination. The important thing is to equip yourself with as many techniques to beat
procrastination as possible. This will increase your chances for overcoming procrastination for
good.
Now some say that another reason could be the inability to prioritize because Those who cannot
view the tasks at hand and place them into different categories based on their level of importance
sometimes have difficulty getting anything done because they are constantly switching from one
task to another or trying to decide what to do next.so a good tip would be to try making a list of
all of your tasks and ranking them in order of importance. Then make set a goals and complete
them one by one.
2. Now here is where the information I provide will shock you. There are a lot of negatives of
procrastination for one there is Health now get this just over a single academic term,
procrastinating college students had such evidence of compromised immune systems as more
colds and flu, more gastrointestinal problems. And they had insomnia. In addition,
procrastination has a high cost to others as well as oneself; it shifts the burden of responsibilities
onto others, who become resentful. Procrastination destroys teamwork in the workplace and
private relationships and that is some scary stuff. And some people say that It can be done with
highly structured cognitive behavioral therapy.
Another reason could be you could be feeling frustrated, Now when we don't know how to do
something, it is easier not to do anything at all. Or maybe we feel it would be too time
consuming to learn what is needed to accomplish a particular task. It seems like it would take
forever to complete. This is the time to break the task down into manageable parts. Decide a
starting point and work for short periods of time, say about 10 to 20 minutes tops. Then mark off
each part as completed. Similar to what I mentioned about goals earlier and This imparts the
feeling of accomplishment as work is being completed.
So with all that said I can tell you i was once trapped in the endless cycle of procrastination and I
still do but I came to realize why I was procrastinating. Once I understood what was causing me
to procrastinate, I was able to implement the strategies and put an end to my procrastination we
needed.
