I just recently started using a planner again, because my life has taken an abrupt turn from uneventful to me having to do something at all times, I mean there hasn't been an idol moment in my life since school has started. So far its been very beneficial.
Procrastination hurts like crazy. It only fosters negative effects, like being unprepared or rushed work which means a bad grade and the your grades drop. And because your grades are low so is your GPA and then you become depressed. And because you have a low GPA and the you drop out of school and become a bum with no friends...
Okay now that was a little dramatic but I think we can all agree that procrastination isn't a good thing so we have to come up with a way to prevent the urge to procrastinate.
I have discovered that for myself I have to give myself what I like to call allowance time, Time to just chill and sleep or watch Netflix. This all depends on the length of my list of things to do. This time takes to pressure of my long list away. I usually place this allowance time in the middle of my things, to help get pumped again It's like recess for me.
Hey Olivia or what ever your name is! Procrastination isn't always bad. Yea I agree it makes you rush but some people can and like to work under pressure. For example me, I think I work better under pressure than with a lot of time in my hands!
ReplyDeleteProcrastination also just brings extra stress to your day to day life. But I like to finish everything I have to do without any breaks then have my recess time. I feel like I finish my work a lot faster and have more time to just relax at the end of it all. And I still don't use my planner because I forget to look at it so i just put reminders on my phone so I can be alert at all times.
ReplyDeleteI like how you have "allowance time" and how you use it in between assignments. That's pretty clever.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of allowance time, I think that's a really good and effective idea.
