Leaving everything to the last moment. Procrastination is one of the biggest problems I face in my educational life. I leave everything to the last moment and I can't get work done because of all those distractions around me. Social networks, TV, people, food, everything. And how to face all these distractions? Let's go back to a time without them, well, most of them. About 100 years ago, the only thing people had for entertainment was the radio. Luckily, you didn't have a screen or anything to look at while listening to the radio. My grandma always told me how she would listen to the radio while doing homework. But, as always, in a time like this one there were disadvantages. How would people even research for homework? I once heard a quote on the internet saying "Be grateful to your parents, they graduated before Wikipedia and Google existed."
I guess that one could say that even though technology advances are good for society, one would learn much more in the olden times when you "actually investigate" to do essays or reports. It kind of seems like the Innovation Academy. In order to complete assignments here, we don't sit around in a computer and search up what we want to look for and then just read all the answers. No, we actually investigate through a variety of sources. We go on interviews, trips, and different learning experiences.
So how can I, a person addicted to Social Networking and TV, deal with procrastination? Well, I guess step #1 is shutting down Facebook. If I can't do this myself then by downloading the "Self Control" application. But, as always, the problems I particularly face by doing this is that I have school Facebook groups where they post homework's and important stuff that we should know.
Even if I shut down Facebook, how can I deal with laziness and napping? The first solution I find to this is sleeping more at night. I feel as if I don't sleep enough which in the end causes me to be tired and lazy during school hours, and once I arrive home, all I want to do is sleep. Therefore I take naps, which usually last around an hour, and afterwards since I just woke up and all that I go on Facebook until late at night and just simply forget everything. My #1 solution to this is to do an activity after school maybe start classes on something I'm interested on, or go to the gym, but I should do something in the afternoons after school.
10th grade is an important year in a students transcript, this is one of the reasons why I should step up my game, in order to get into collage. With all the projects that I have now, it is very hard for me to concentrate. Personal project is due in two weeks and I get so stressed on it, and it is only there when I start putting my mind forth to it. I shouldn't have to wait to that point of stress and anger to start working, I should start from before, but somehow I can't.
