Quit Wasting Time!

Like most students, I had a serious issue with procrastination. I would receive an
assignment a week in advance and would wait until two days before it was due to begin
working on it. Once high school hit and I decided to take part in several activities, I
realized that procrastination just wasn’t my friend, so I thought about changing my ways.
I found that by creating a schedule, I could organize myself enough so that
procrastination had no time to invade on my life. Some people feel the need to
procrastinate; if you are someone of that nature then have no fear! You can be helped
as well. Plan procrastination into your schedule. Commit to being focused on your
assignment for as long as you can and set aside 15-20 minutes to do a physical activity
in solitude with a pen and paper at your side. You want to be working your body to get
your heart pumping and sending oxygen to your brain. You also to produce space for
thinking to expand on the ideas you already have. Attacking procrastination is a difficult
thing to commit to but once you get in the habit of doing it, procrastination just might

become your friend.
