So procrastination, it is a really hard thing to battle with especially while being a nursing student. Well maybe I will come and finish this later I need to go clean my room...
This video is a funny interpretation of procrastination, check it out.
I have struggled with procrastination since I was in about Jr. High. I have always felt there were things more fun and important than doing school work. Now when I procrastinate I do not wait till the extreme last minute, but I definitely wait until I am rushing to get done with all my work. I have tried to work on it ever since it started to become a problem because of stress. That is why I decided to make sure that I managed my time better because I could not deal with the stress of waiting anymore. Now I am no expert at time management and not procrastinating, I still struggle with it, just not as much. These are some thing I try to help with time management:
- Pray a lot. I decided that God is the one who will help me stay calm and on track. I feel more confident and structured when I keep God in my life.
- Keep a planner. I try to give all my assignments a day to get done on. Sometimes it does not always work out, but I feel better when I can mark things off my list.
- Stay focused. I try to make sure that I am in a quite place and my roommates know that I am trying to concentrate and finish all my work. This helps me to not talk to them and end up procrastinating.
