In day to day life, living in our world we are bound to run into stress.

Stress can occur in to types, acute and chronic and acts as a driving force in many situations.

For this week's essay I had the ability to learn about stress and the different categories that people can fall into. People who experience stress more are categorized as type A people why people who are less prone to these stresses are categorized as type B people. After talking the quiz I learned that I scored a 267. This places me in the low type A range. This was little bit of a surprise to me because I don't consider myself to be an over stressed person. I then thought about what causes me stress and possible ways of being able to change my life style to help lessen the stress I experience. In this essay I am going to share about what some of my major stresses are, how I reduce stress and finally I will share a time when I was more of a type A person than a type B person.

The research article titled “Procrastination, Deadlines and Performance: Self-Control by Precomittment,” authored by psychologists Dan Ariely and Klaus Wertenbroch, aimed to figure out the reasoning behind procrastination. A study was conducted to answer three questions all posed from the central thesis of procrastination. The first question the studies sought to answer was whether people are willing to impose deadlines, with substantial consequences if they are not met, on themselves. The second question whether these self-imposed deadlines were actually helpful in improving overall performance. Lastly, the third question aimed to determine if the deadlines people imposed on themselves, were done so to achieve their best results. It was

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.

Procrastination is not a good habit at all, it impedes me to accomplish my goals, tasks, or Appointments right and on time. Procrastination is “the act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off or delaying, especially something requiring immediate attention”. Procrastination is a huge problem in my life, it has come to affect my grades at college, some friendships, even my happiness and my peace of mind. Normally I set objectives myself, and to fulfill them, something basic and essential is to keep my schedule to just get the process done and reach a positive outcome! But guess what? Here comes Mr. Procrastination again! I can never get up early and that trigger an enormous domino effect that affects my whole day, because if I do not wake up at a good time, I will not have enough time, to do homework, studying, going to the gym and going to work. But as time goes on I realized it is very simple to

When I was in high school some of my teachers would tell me that procrastination are for incompetent and lazy people. I don’t agree completely since they are not wrong about lazy people having to procrastinate several times including myself, but there are effective ways in procrastinating that I have learned throughout the years. An effective strategy I discovered, but I’m not sure if this works for others as well is that procrastinator effectiveness can be respected and admired for all we can accomplish and the good use we make of our time being. Having a structured procrastination is the art of making this “bad” trait work for me.

Stress management course has been very exciting for me because I never thought that these small stresses about my daily life could change my personality and the way I see this world. I wasn’t expecting that yoga can do any good against stress; Because now I’ve done a lot of sessions in last 3 weeks, I can guarantee that I can get rid of stress in next few weeks.

We’ve all had a paper due on a Wednesday that we had known about for the past two weeks, but for some unknown and involuntary reason, we choose to save it for a Tuesday evening, which turns into a Wednesday morning as we frantically work to finish an assignment we probably could have finished in class over a couple of days. We may have been preoccupied those couple of weeks, with a job, or sports; maybe even putting together a fundraiser of some sort. Or maybe, we haven’t been busy at all, and have chosen to go home after class and eat rice- cakes and watch Netflix all afternoon, into the evening, and continuously tell ourselves “I’ll get it done tomorrow.” Many of us have a habit of making nearly every important task, (whether it be homework, paying a bill, making a phone call, or even booking a trip) an “oh, I’ll do that tomorrow” type of job. What most of us realize, but choose to ignore, is that continuously putting of these duties of ours will not only have negative consequences on the result of the job that needs to be done, but on our mental physical and mental health as well. People may have excuses for leaving things to the last minute, but the hard truth that they need to accept is that they are a habitual procrastinator. It is imperative that we understand that procrastination will (eventually, if not immediately) have effects on our lives, from downward spirals in our happiness and personal satisfaction, to destroying our

Where most graduating students go, no one really knows for sure. Since many high school students are near graduation, some students have already planned their future while others are more indecisive. Eventually, high school has given options for students to prepare for the future, but it is still not enough for them to decide on where to go. Even at a very young age, students were always asked the same questions throughout their school years like, "Who do they want to be when they grow up? or What do they want to do when their older?" These questions have been lingering onto students socially, physically, and mentally into their past few years, which can pressure them to overthink about themselves.

In the beginning, Like many children I was, raised to always be punctual and courteous of others time. But, like many parents, they were known to be a bit hypocritical when it came to their own advice about time organization. My mother was a reacquiring offender to that same parental guideline. I learned all I needed to know about procrastination from its proclaimed monarch herself. At first, I would take it slow only procrastination in situations that I felt wasn't that dire. For example, watching the new episode of my favorite anime before cleaning the dishes. All the while aware of the 30 mins that still remained for the time limit that was given to me by my mother. As a young adolescence time management came second to almost anything that peeked my fancy over duties my young mind felt was overbearing and tedious. “Why complete them now when I have ample amount time to finish it.” That was always my motto that fueled my procrastination.

Procrastination is all too familiar to most of the people and it has become a widespread phenomenon at all ages of life. In childhood, children will make every effort to put off finishing their homework. When they grow up into adults, they start to delay writing up their thesis, repeatedly declare they will start their diets tomorrow, or postpone until deadlines finishing the tasks. Yet people also sometimes struggle to control their procrastination. But things always go against with what they want. This essay revolves around the definition and the negative effects of procrastination, reasons for procrastination behaviors and the effective solution to procrastination behaviors.

I know this as the back of my hand. Anxiety is a subtle cause of procrastination. Try and remember the last time you put off the doing of something. What caused it? You may not realize it, but it’s there. If you don’t know how you’ll fare in an exercise, a job, or a project, or another endeavor, anxiety will set in and the easy way out of the anxiety is to avoid the endeavor for now. Tell me if you think I’m wrong. Procrastinator shifts their focus from the future that’s staring them in the face because they’re anxious that the job is challenging. They concentrate on the present rewards.
