Procrastination

It is a Friday night and I have to choose: party on South Campus or study for my nutrition test. Well, I haven't gone to a party in six months and finals are coming, meaning that I won't be able to go out. So, ok I choose to party.

My conscious bothers me as I put on the first coat of makeup.

I did not PROCRASTINATE this week, since I used two different systems that forced me to stay on top of my work.

STRATEGY: 24-Hour Rule

"FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT..."

My application for a internship was due on Friday at 5pm, so I made a new deadline: Thursday at 5pm.

1. Make a new deadline 24 hours prior to the actual date.

STRATEGY: Schedule a Day at a Time.

Creating To-Do Lists & crossing out the finished task makes me feel accomplished.

1. I wrote a to-do list everyday.

2. I pointed out the tasks that could be realistically completed.

3. I also added a few tasks that were optional to get ahead.

4. CROSS off the finished task.

5. Once you are finished with all your tasks: take a break or start on your optional tasks.

6. Make a new to-do list everyday and add the tasks that weren't completed the previous day.
