Summary of Strageties

Me procrastinating is not something that is new. Procrastinating has always been a struggle for me. I have always had a hard time getting my task done on time. Usually its hard for be to motivate myself and I find myself doing lots of assignments last minute. But I am not like this when it comes to my job. I make sure that I do what I am told right away. And when it comes to anything else like house or school work in the opposite. I never procrastinate when I am working. I’m not sure if it because of the money or what it’s just different. I need to learn how to have the same energy for work when in at home and school.

Procrastination is a complex psychological behavior that affects everyone to some degree or another. I regularly procrastinate doing academic assignments. The reason being is that I want my work to be astounding, but as the due date nears I keep delaying starting my assignments. I feel like In order for the work to meet my perfect expectations I have to do so much before I start the assignment such as brainstorming, drafting, editing and than completing the assignment but than before I submit the assignment I proofread each paragraph, read the paper aloud to check for typos and grammatical errors. I would say disappointment Is the driving factor for my desire for perfection. I don't want to disappoint myself, any assignments I complete I always

When I’m facing a reading assignment I usually go to my kitchen table when no one is around. I tend to think that I’m sitting on a school desk so I can concentrate accurately. When it comes to perusing I'm not capable of multitasking such as listening to music and perusing a book. If I do, I began to sing along with the verses of the melody and I end up forgetting what I just read. How I typically arrange my reading assignments is by completing my other homework first so in this way I won’t get hurried to complete the reading. I also set myself goals when I peruse, in order to utilize my phone to check my social media I have to read at least 2 through 3 chapters. When I began to read I typically skim the book for a little while to have

High school has taught me many things during my young life. Through trial and error, I have become the student, and more importantly the person that I am today. One critical lesson that I learned is how to deal with competing priorities, including academics, sports, service clubs, and an active social life. A huge factor in my success was finding what I was passionate about and pursuing that with all my heart. Once my goals were clear, I was able to focus and work hard. Flexibility and time management were key as my responsibilities expanded and the stakes grew larger. My grades and higher learning became my top priorities and I quickly learned how to manage a busy academic and personal calendar. My choices to work hard, be active, and

The reason I procrastinate so bad is because I simply have little motivation to do any school work outside of school. As a senior I have lost the little motivation I had the previous years of highschool. All through school this has been a pretty big problem for me. Studies have shown the toll that procrastination has on students over the course of the year. In one 2007 study, Florida State University psychologists Dianne M. Tice, PhD, and Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, examined procrastination among students in a health psychology class. It was found that early in the semester, procrastinators reported lower stress levels and illness than non-procrastinators, but that late in the term, procrastinators reported higher stress and illness levels. (Psychological Science, Vol. 8, No. 6). Eventually I do one of two things, I either write the paper, put in half my effort and hope that the paper fits the rubric or I forget that the paper eve exists in hopes that the stress will just go away, this rarely

Procrastination is something I struggle with sometimes for short term projects, but fortunately usually I just have more difficult work instead o completely failing at my work. A lot of times my work takes longer or is delayed because my instant gratification monkey helps me do other things like watch sports or play games. However, since I recognize this, I hope I will have better success defeating my procrastination. It is

Although word recognition, decoding, and fluency are building blocks of effective reading, the ability to comprehend text is the ultimate goal of reading instruction. Comprehension is a

The purpose for reading also determines the appropriate approach to reading comprehension. A person who needs to know whether she can afford to eat at a particular restaurant needs to comprehend the pricing information provided on the menu, but does not need to recognize the name of every appetizer listed. A person reading poetry for enjoyment needs to recognize the words the poet uses and the ways they are put together, but does not need to identify main idea and supporting details. However, a person using a scientific article to support an opinion needs to know the vocabulary that is used, understand the facts and cause-effect sequences that are presented, and recognize ideas that are presented as hypotheses and givens.

Procrastination is not being lazy as it sometimes feels like but at the end you get things turns in. As many people I have procrastinated. I usually procrastinate on homework in which I have a week or more to do, because I had more than week to do the procrastination project I have been procrastinating on it. Some of the problems i have had because of procrastination was not being able to relax and enjoy my free time, suffer unnecessary stress, to a lower quality work, and have problems sleeping. The self lies and ir-rationalization I have use to procrastinate on assignments is I’ll do it tomorrow or I have all day, I need to have fun, the professor might get sick or forget, the more i put off the less I have to do, I’m too busy to do it

One of my toughest mental battles that I had to face was dealing with procrastination. Procrastination is the delaying on one’s objectives. While everyone has procrastinated during their lifetime, there is a twenty percent chance in becoming a full-time procrastinator. Basically if you compared yourself and four friends, then one of you is likely to be a full-time procrastinator. Procrastination only bring negative effects such as: setting a bad reputation upon yourself,

I have always been told by my parents that being organized and staying on task are the keys to being successful. It was always my priority to have an environment with no clutter and distractions because it could get in the way of my studies. I was to focus on my school work and save the fun for after I had graduated college, when I would be able to do whatever I wanted with my life. If someone has told you this, they may be looking out for your future, but their expectations are not practical and certainly not achievable. Instead, if you follow the advice they have stated, you may actually start to view school and grades as your only concerns in life. This is certainly not effective and does no good to your development as a person.

Procrastinating comes in a few stages, the first is receiving the assignment. Receiving the assignment and due date sparked the lies of “oh I’ll start this as soon as I get home,” or “I’m actually going to get this done early so I don’t have to worry about it.” So i psych myself up to be motivated to finish it early although it never works out that way.

While studying Student Learning Success, I covered several tools that will help me in my academic career going forward. Two tools that I think will be especially useful are goal and priority management and time management. One of the issues that made me apprehensive about starting studies was how I would be able to juggle my career, family and my school, without feeling overwhelmed.

We read to understand, to comprehend; otherwise, reading is only a meaningless act of word calling. Thus, how well students develop the ability to comprehend what they read has a deep effect on their lives (Texas Education Agency, 2015). Readers with poor comprehension usually do not have the needed strategies to help them understand. They may not have sufficient decoding skills, lack background knowledge or vocabulary, or be unaware of text structure and organization. The combined effects of these obstacles result in increased frustration, a loss of confidence, and a loss in a desire to read (Texas Education Agency, 2015).

When I began to contemplate the possibility to go back to school, I knew I had to make some major changes in my personal life in order to make school a priority. I don’t tend to go out to social events often, because I prefer to relax in my place, spend time with my family and go shopping. However, one day I was invited to an event and from that event, a lot of other events followed. I became part of a social group that constantly were doing different activities all the time. Facebook and Instagram crawled in, and I was spending too much of my time, trying to keep up with everything that was going on. I knew that if I wanted to make school a priority, I had to separate myself from all the unnecessary social events, the people I was surrounding myself with, and social media. Why? Because I tend to get distracted easily and at this moment of my life, school is my number one priority. Professionally, I had to make a couple of changes in my job regarding volunteer work that I was doing, which was taking my time and energy. I spoke to my boss, and informed her that I was not able to continue doing the extra volunteer activities, that I was doing. By doing this, I made my academic school work a priority. Academically, I know I will be faced with a lot of barriers, for example, disappointments, discouragement, anxiety, and fear of not being able to keep up with all the school responsibilities a college student faces. One of the things that I will be doing to work
