I absolutely hate not being all caught up with my school work. I always try my best to keep up with everything but having to remember things just doesn't work all the time. For the most part I always write things down but it doesn't necessarily make sense to write it just anywhere. I like to keep a paper planner and always write down everything that needs to get done. I find it very efficient and it always works for me because I like to color coordinate according to the importance of the task.
Procrastination is probably one of the worst things you can do as a student trying to be successful. I have learned this the hard way. Grades start dropping, you can't play your sport, you start having problems at home, and so many consequences can come from that. I have always been a very competitive person so once I realized that we are all basically in a competition to be within a certain percentage of our class I pushed myself to fight procrastination. First thing I do is check my planner and get my homework done. I see this as a priority and my conscience is clear because I know I'm caught up and ready for what is next.
That is a very great method by writing down what needs to be done and color coordinating it. It is unique and a great way to get things done. Also, your grades can really start to drop if you are procrastinating.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination does get harder not only on your school life, but in sports, and at home. I think not only keeping a planner but color coding it is a good idea because its more organized. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing, writing everything down in a planner is what keeps me on track. I hate procrastinating too, it puts a lot of unnecessary stress on me. Using the competition between students to be in the top ten percent is a good way to stay motivated!

ReplyDeleteI also like to keep a planner. It helps me keep my thoughts organized. Your point about grades dropping and not being able to play sports was very good because that is a big part of what motivates me to keep my grades up as well.
ReplyDeletewriting everything down in a planner and color coating things in it is a really good method. procrastinating is a really bad thing to do because your grades could go down and u wouldnt be able to play sports.
