War Against Procrastination

Hey guys, this is one of the moments when I think a lot about how procrastination has gotten me nowhere...... again...

Yes, I have work but I am not finishing it..as fast as I should. It is the mid semester break currently and I haven't been vey productive. But mind you, I am slowly ticking off the things I need to from my to-do list. Hello to progress!

I know some of you do this: You have decide that you finally are gonna start working, and so you sit on your desk and turn on your laptop. But instead of finishing that essay, you realize you are not in the mood. But at the same time, you realize this lack of mojo is wasting your time. So what do you do? Waste time anyway by finding out how not to waste time.

In other words... procrastinate by finding out how to not procrastinate. Haha hambar

Well, before that I decided to find out how bad of a procrastinator I am by answering 77 questions from a web quiz. That took me about half an hour. Well, I found out that I am not too bad. Although, I am quite dubious of the results. Proof was I still hadn't carried on with my work.

I didn't just take quizzes, I also watched some videos. I must say that they are pretty good. Did I waste time? Yes. Did I learn how not to? Yes. Did I procrastinate anyway? Yes but less...

Fair enough.

I decided that I like Wellcast videos :)

Chronic Procrastination

I am seventeen and I suffer from chronic procrastination. Actually, to say "suffer from" just doesn't do because I know this is within me. And Insyallah, God gave us all willpower. So I know I am the one to blame. You think  that saying, 'I'll do it in five minutes time" won't hurt but it does.Hurt. In every sense of the word. You sit for days (while at procrastination) thinking what it would've been like if you had just made full use of your time, you would have had the results you wanted.

When I was in Form Three, I started having goosebumps about PMR in the second half of the year. I worked hard. And last  minute studying became irrelevant. But my motivation was to score A+. I've grown much more since then or so I think. I foolishly thought I could ace exams without being so obsessed with studying by learning for the sake of learning. Well, the intention was pure but implementation became another issue. I've also grown lazier, a remarkable change that I am not proud of.

If you're a child who happens to read this post (though I doubt that because I sound like such an oldie when I write) , remember that procrastination is a thief of time. Huh that was lame but it's true. Wow, this is my first time using a proverb in my blog I think. Ciao.
