Overcoming procrastination
Last month, our class write the med-exam paper, which is about the honor code. I find a very interesting thing that is almost every cause has the reason which led to the student who violated the honor, which can not manage their time very well. The overcoming procrastination is one of the common problem included time management. This workshop analyzed the main reasons of procrastination and give some good method which contains prioritization and Pomodoro time method to resolve them.
In the beginning, speaker guidance students to consider and discuss the reasons which lead to us have the procrastination. First, sometimes we just ignorance somethings. Like we always said, “I did not know I was supposed to do that”. Checking your schedule is a good way to change these things. Secondly, the skill deficiency is a very common reason for procrastination. When we want to delay something, I do not know how to do it, is a very important reason. Asking around maybe is a good way for the situation. Thirdly, when the things which are not cared about or interested. Moreover, inertia is another reason which makes us procrastination. In addition, sometimes we just forget it. So, frail memo tory is also a real reason. Write down the list which we should down is a great way.
Everyone has a different reason to lead to the procrastination. However, we also can find some common reasons. Prioritization is a wonderful method to classify the things which will down on our life. (Cantrell, 2018) At first, we need to write the list which includes 15 actions which will down on the future two days. Then classify these things to urgent or not urgent and important or not important. So, all the things are classified as important and urgent, important and not urgent, not important but urgent, and not important and not urgent. When face to choose the thing which one we should do now, the important and urgent thing is absolutely chosen as the first one. Then if you have time you can do the not important and urgent things. In addition, the important but not urgent things are also should be done if you have any other time. At last, is the thing which is not important and not urgent. Owing to classify your things, the things which are really to be done will be put on the top of the list. And you will avoid most of the procrastination because only delay the important or urgent things are to be called procrastination, if you just delay watch TV, it is not procrastination.
Furthermore, the Pomodoro Time Method is also a key way to help students. (services) The method is teaching students to disassemble a big task to many small tasks. At first, you just should do a part of them which spend you 25 minutes. Then you can get a 5 minutes break. Then go on down the second 25 minutes part, and take a break. When following the rule, a huge task will be finished with these small 25 minutes task are finished.
In conclusion, we have procrastination in our lives more or less. Procrastination is not just lazy, it is a kind of problem of time management. Overcoming procrastination should follow some scientific methods such as prioritization and Pomodoro time method.
