Putting an End to Procrastination

21 Pages 614 Words 1557 Views

There is no doubt that life is prone to change. Minds change, opinions change, people change. When it comes to me, I would change several things about myself, for the better. If I were to choose a single thing, I would want to change the way I so horribly procrastinate due to lack of motivation, and probably even laziness. The fact that procrastination negatively affects my life is undeniable. I get an assignment and am given a week to complete it, and I do it the night before. I have the whole Summer for Summer assignments, and I wait until August to even start them. My parents tell me to do my chores before they get home, and I leave myself with only half an hour to do them. I want the quality of what I do to always be my best, but without sufficient time, how can I even begin to accomplish that? By procrastinating, I put myself under stress that I should not even be in had I done the tasks in advance. I hate feeling great amounts of stress, but most of it can be prevented if I would only try harder. My life would absolutely be easier if procrastination wasn't a habit of mine. Completing homework as soon as I get home from school would leave me with the rest of the day to do what I please. Making it a goal to complete all Summer assignments before mid-July would leave me with a stress-free end of the Summer. If I would just use the time that I have to do work, I could improve the quality of said work; I won't feel crunched for time, and feel the need to rush what I am doing. The quality of my work would most definitely improve if I worked without the feelings of being rushed or stressed. I believe procrastinating brings about a great deal of my stress. I know I would feel better overall if I did things on time and met deadlines with extra time to still be had. I am aware of the troubles that procrastinating brings to me, but how can I stop the frustrating habit? I can begin by repeatedly reminding myself how toxic it can be. By ta
