10 New Year Resolutions for High School Students

Tuesday was the start of a new six weeks, my academic short term goal is to have a 90 and above in every class that I have. I will have this goal down by going into my classes every Friday after school to check on my progress in that class and sit to do extra credit if I really need to be sure I make an A in the class. A personal short term goal I have for myself is to maintain my healthy eating habits for about another year, I have cut down candy, sodas and fast food places. I will achieve this goal by staying right on path with my meal plan and working out daily. I will know I have accomplished my goal when I lose twenty pounds and when I have a flat stomach. My third goal is a personal one and it is to save up two hundred dollars to pay

Life is like shooting a basketball, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but there will always be a chance to try again.

So staying to true form after facing the two big issues causing my procrastination I immediately began procrastinating my solving procrastination. However after two days I realized that this really was a problem that needed solving right here and now. So I began to brainstorm how I could solve my problem. The next week of the class couldn’t have come at a better time since we focused mainly on procrastination. After reviewing my notes from that class and looking to the textbook for advice, I found the solutions to my first problem to-do lists, calendars, timers, and specific study and work times with

Procrastination is never good. I know that first hand. I have done it all my life and there for a while I could get away with it. Then I got into high school. Before, I could do my homework and projects the night before in an hour or so. I tried that in high school, and instead of going to bed at 10 p.m., I would go to sleep around 3 a.m. because I waited to write a paper. Unfortunately, I’m not a very

In most of the letters that I read some said the advice "don't procrastinate" and, that is one of the things that I use to do. I use to procrastinate most of my days with out even realizing it especially on homework. Every time that I had to do homework, I would always find an excuse for example "I'm hungry let me eat first", "I

The problem is that I procrast when it come with school and work.In the past year I didnt do well in this same class end of having to drop the class in the main reason why is because I would wait last minture to do the work or go online. It cause me to be late and I tuned in the assessment last minute.  I wait last minute to do everything.  My hypotheses is if you follow these easy step you wouldn 't procurator anymore.The methods and steps  I use to help me with my stop procrastination is write down my work on a calendar.  Break my work into little steps.

Most of the time it 's the library for me because it 's so quiet in the library. Create a goal a timeline with deadlines about the work.  Eliminate my procrastination pit-stops which mean to us young adults election deceive anything that stop me from doing my work is a pit-stop. Get a friend that inspire to who is going to take action and help you not procurator which its my girlfriend. Ask for help if you stuck on something don 't wait last minute ask your teacher or friend. Write your goals on something look at it everyday. If you want to get this work done write it down look at it everyday until it is finish. Finally Just do it don 't wait

Attention Getter: A famous author by the name of Wayne Dyer once said, “Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is incredibly heavy.”(1) In todays society it seems as if procrastination has become a normal and acceptable thing to do. It is often joked about amongst schoolmates and co-workers around the world. Nothing seems to get done until it absolutely needs to get done, then everyone runs around getting things done quickly and often times inaccurately. The trouble with this mentality however is that some things will never get done because something will come up tomorrow or the next day and what you are putting off now gets pushed even further back. Today I will persuade you to stop this habit from continuing. I will be explaining the problems we face when dealing with procrastination as well as how to deal with it and actions you can take to prevent it in the future.

My goal for all these high school years is to get my high school diploma and degree.

In college, I hope to become a better version of myself in many ways. First, I hope to improve my study skills and work ethic. In high school I was a firm believer procrastination. I would always wait till the day before or sometimes a few hours before a test before i really took my time to study. My senior year was the worst, I usually waited till study hall or lunch to complete my homework. I’m praying I do not continue this habit in college. So far it has been hard to not procrastinate because I do not have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I keep telling myself I have plenty of time to finish my assignments. For the last week now I have found myself staying up late finishing work. I hope I can get out of this habit by spacing

One of the most important things for you to know is this; you have to Try in your classes. If you don't you're going to get nowhere fast. Especially if you procrastinate your work. When you procrastinate, the little inconvenience you were trying to avoid at first will go from a thirty minute homework assignment to, oh no! It’s the next day and now you still have your thirty minute homework assignment, you're in

Student success day was a great learning experince. I attended the “How to kick your procrastination” session led by professor Steven Hartlaub. In this hour long course I learned what procrastination is, why we do it, and how we can't stop it. The science behind procrastination is very interesting,yet complex. Procrastination often stems from our mixed or negative feelings about a certain task. These tasks often deal with intimidation, fear of failure, or a lack of passion. As a result, we may view tasks as things to be overcome rather than experienced or achieved. As a student in college procrastination is an enemy of my success.

“I’ll stop procrastinating…Tomorrow.” This is a mindset that is possessed by a majority of students today. Although putting off writing that English paper until the night before it is due may not seem like a big deal, it has many harmful effects. In fact, what better topic is there for that English paper? Very few are spared from the epidemic known as procrastination. Even less overcome this issue. In order to successfully defeat procrastination, we must first understand it.

Students can avoid procrastination by following the S.M.A.R.T. goal guidelines. All of your goals should be specific (s), measurable (m), achievable (a), realistic (r), and time-sensitive (t). A specific goal is clear, focused, concise, and well-defined (“Ensure Your Success”). Instead of a general goal like “I want to get my degree,” turn that into something more specific like “I am going to get my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from George Mason University” (“Ensure Your Success”). To make goals measurable, establish timelines and dates so you can measure your progress and stay on track to meet targets. Goals need to be achievable. Evaluate your own work ethic, see what you’re willing to do, and shape your goal around that so you know it is something you’re capable of doing. A goal needs to be realistic, something that you are

Have you ever had an essay due in three weeks and thought to yourself, “I’ve got time. I’ll just do it later”? Does staying up studying for an exam until 3 am in the morning sound familiar? How about running to class because you were working on a project until the very last second? If any of these unfortunate situations sound relatively familiar, you have endured the horrendous event of procrastination at some point of your jam-packed life. The one secret that nobody is enforcing on your young life is the extreme power of time management. In Chapter 5, the topics we address are as follows:
