I find that procrastination and motivation are in constant battle with each other. When one wins, the other one loses and visa versa. Oftentimes, you find motivation and then as soon as you begin to use this motivation, you stop whatever you're doing, even if it's only halfway finished, and then procrastinate finishing the rest. It's a vicious cycle, really.
"Procrastination is the thief of time"
If you find something you love doing, then you won't have to procrastinate about reaching a goal, and you'll be motivated instead.
Trust me, I've basically let procrastination take over my life. It soon turns into general laziness. (I've spent the majority of the weekend in my pyjama's, I should know) In my defence though, english essays are horrible things that should not be done during the week of official Leaving Cert Oral Exams, in my opinion. Plus, they're not even fun so it definitely wouldn't be one of the first things I'd do on a rainy day.
And as a result of procrastinating doing this essay, I've started a chain reaction of procrastinating studying French for my French Oral Exam this week that I feel super under-prepared for. Super.
When you procrastinate, all the things you have put off doing soon build up until you have this big mountain of things to do and have no idea where to start! Kind of like me and cleaning my room. It's a lost cause at this point because I've put off cleaning it for so long. And then you get stressed and worked up and then you feel awful and under pressure and that is certainly not fun. There is more enjoyment found in an english essay than there is with having stress breakdown's. And that's saying a lot.
So just some advice:
1~ Don't procrastinate
Yeah, that's about it.
