Well they like to call me the princess of procrastination… Surprisingly I’m not procrastinating on this blog but normally my work gets done at the very last minute!! It’s just so hard with all these different distractions around me…
As you can see in my time waster chart, there is the social distraction, my phone is the ultimate distraction… fatigue is a large factor in my procrastination. Oh and cleaning my room is a crucial factor of my procrastination skills!! Although sometimes I even find myself procrastinating cleaning my room, by doing something like making food for myself or turning to my television for a good distraction!
Typically I wait until the very very very last minute to study for a test (the night before the test). The same goes for my homework, I wait until the night before its due, or sometimes ever the day its due… The time waster chart really made it c
lear for me to see what I need to stop doing to procrastinate so that I can just complete the tasks that I have to accomplish!
Also using a study partner was probably the best way to end my procrastination. Megan
(shown in picture to the right) is in my business calc course. Normally I wait to do my business calc homework until the day it is due, but asking Megan to do our homework together, forced me to do my work two days before it was due. I feel that this strategy works because I had to work around Megan’s schedule and find a time that was convenient for both of us to meet and do our homework together. Luckily Megan was only free during the beginning of the week. So by the time the end ofthe week came around when my homework was due, it was already done because I had to work with a partner who only had free time in the beginning of the week!
I would say this week my procrastinations skills were thrown out the window! I was nice to have free time at the end of the week, because instead of procrastinating and doing my work at the end of the week, I finished it in the beginning of the week so that I could just relax and do my own thing at the end of the week.

I love how you included a picture of your study partner! At first I thought it was you (i'm not wearing my contacts currently) and then put on my glasses and realized it wasn't haha! Studying with a partner seems smart because like you said, you are forced to work around her schedule too. I am very impressed with your self control. I don't think I have the will power to delete Facebook!
ReplyDeletehahhahaha i loved the picture of your study partner too. and i agree that the chart made it really clear as to what our distractions are. and im impressed as well about facebook, and i do the same thing as you and your study partner by going to ecn homework sessions every week. that also forces me to do my work on time!
