I remember telling myself at the start of every new year at school and before i started TAFE, "this year will be different, I'm going to be organised and NOT leave things till the last minute". Yet despite my weak attempt at self motivation, year after year I find myself up at 1AM the morning an assessment is due.
Why is it that so many people are unable to work unless under the pressure of having little or no time left? Time after time I've attempted to sit down and do an assessment a week or two before it's due, but I've always failed and end up doing majority of the work the day/night before it's due. Why is it that when us less organised students hear that magical word "extension" we jump for joy at the thought of having extra time to do our work, then end up leaving it till the last minute as usual?
Personally I use every method of procrastination to avoid doing my work right up until I've got no other choice. My favourites include;
Facebook-ing
Checking my emails
Playing Solitaire
Cleaning my room (which only gets done when I've got an assessment coming up)
Helping Mum with the housework (also only gets done when an assessment is due)
and the latest edition...
Blogging.
As I'm typing this blog I have my next assessment sitting next to me waiting to be completed, maybe I should turn over a new leaf and get a start on it...
... on second thoughts, my room really needs a clean.
