Procrastination

 

Procrastination

         Procrastination has sadly become a daily habit for me. I just can't seem to find the motivation or energy to complete things that I once had. Even with subjects that interest me like Computer Science, I end up putting these tasks off for hours and days. In the case of these blogs, even weeks. 

     I think a big reason for this lack of motivation or drive comes from bad habits I developed over the whole online school COVID-19 period. During this time, I think I lost a lot of my focus on assignments because of the nature of things being online, not being in class meant that I could just do anything while the lesson was being taught. Instead of listening to math for an hour I could just go on YouTube and watch a couple of videos. 

     I think to fix this issue that is becoming more prevalent in my academic life I need to start trying to hold myself to a stricter schedule. Right now I kind of just do things whenever, especially if the due date is loosely assigned. I think I should try setting up some sort of work schedule, that way I always take x amount of time out of a day to do some work and try to create a proper work-life balance. Most of the time because I procrastinate I end up not even doing what I want to do because I have that homework assignment looming over my head. Hopefully, I can get this issue under control in the next few weeks.
