Procrastination

There’s not a whole lot of continuity in life, but one thing has stayed the same for me. My whole life I’ve been a procrastinator. But recently, I find myself putting off more and more work. Freshman year I would start my homework late at night, but I always got it done before I went to sleep. Sophomore year I would begin my homework during the evening and then finish in the morning. Not a great system, but I got done what needed to be done. However, this year, I procrastinate for a couple hours when I get home from school and then I fall asleep without even looking at my assignments.

It’s now a rare occasion when I’m able to stay up past 10 P.M., yet not for lack of trying. I’ll take my homework and projects out, get out my pens, sharpen my pencils, then the next thing I know I can barely keep my eyes open. I get barely any homework done at home, and I’m left rushing to finish it before school and in between classes. I used to be able to stay up all night doing any work that I needed to, and I would feel perfectly fine the next day no matter how little sleep I got.

It’s obvious that that “system” is no longer working, so I plan on completely changing my schedule for the upcoming quarter; I desperately need to. Being a procrastinator isn’t worth the trouble and huge amounts of stress that it’s been adding to my life.
