Procrastination

Procrastination is a huge problem that most people have. When you are trying to avoid doing something you will procrastinate and do other tasks first to put off the assignment. The strategy I used to help me with my procrastination was time wasters. I chose this skill because I am a Kinesthetic learner and I was able to make a chart and see what I had to do. This can also work for visual learners.

Time wasters is a way to look at what yo

ur time waster is and the task you are avoiding so you can draw conclusions about what things are making you waste your time. You can use this for any assignment in any course.

I used time wasters for my WGS 203 project and studying for my ECN 203 quiz. What I did was make a chart that on the left column said Time Waster and on the right column said Avoided Task(s). I then went through and wrote out all of the time wasters for my WGS project like going on facebook, talking on the phone, and watching TV. In the next column under Avoided Task I listed out reading the WGS article, typing the essay, studying for econ. I then tried to draw conclusions and realized the reason I was not completing my WGS project was because I was not sure what to do and was not fully clear on the directions. For ECN I realized I was not studying because I was anxious about the qui

z and did not know where to start.

This helped me realize why I was procrastinating and made me take the necessary steps to do the work. I isolated myself from the things that were distracting me and got the help necessary to complete these tasks.

Time wasters is a great strategy for everyone who has problems with procrastination because it will help you get your work done!
