Why Is Homework Important To Me

Soon, I discovered a method to avoid the potential of feeling insubstantial, if only for a few more hours or days. Thus, allow me to introduce you to an old friend, procrastination. My way of thinking soon became, “If I’m not going to get an A, then why even put the effort in?” and consequently, innumerable assignments were put off until five in the morning where it would be due in two hours or it would never reach my teacher’s hands at all. I’m sure most teachers believed the cause to be laziness or a lack of ambition, however I strongly believe that if they’d known the constant stress, self-doubt, and exhaustion that I

Procrastination and putting things off can have many consequences in your life. I know this because I am always waiting until the last minute to do anything whether it is getting ready for work or getting my homework done. Although you can still get your work done on time, procrastinating can drastically impact a student’s life by leading to decreased grades, an increase in stress, and a lack of responsibility ultimately reducing the student’s chances for success.

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

Don Marquis, a famed humorist, journalist, and playwright remarked: “Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.” If that is so, then I must have been a prodigy. Transitioning to a pristine and more work-driven environment, however, forced me to pay more mind to my grades.

Procrastination is a disease that I have almost cured myself of. I tend to put off assignments until the last minute, a false allusion of being able to working under pressure. While I usually perform well on procrastinated assignments, an essay graded with a B could have easily been an A, if I had put in more time working on the assignment. This semester, I know that I will continue working on assignments earlier than usual in order to achieve better grades on my assignments and improve my GPA.

My dad, Cooper Mueggenberg, always felt that he had procrastinated too much while he was young. A quote he lived by was, “procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried”. One day in Math class he had a conversation with his teacher, Mr.Fisher, he realized that in order to fulfill his dream of being an elementary teacher he would have to change his ways.

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.

Before the course I was already trying to take control of my procrastination. I knew that in university would be more complex and exponentially greater than what it is now. In the course, the class went over went over time-management tips to balance due dates and assignments. I’ve found that making lists of what you need to do helps me ring in my procrastination issues. I can visualize what I need to get done and when I am done a task, I get the satisfaction of crossing it off my list. Furthermore, with the impending doom that is exams, I can proudly say that instead of waiting until the last week before the exams to start studying, I have been studying since before New Year’s

Students all around know what it’s like to procrastinate. It happens all the time in schools and it’s difficult not to. Understandably we, as students, don’t like to go home and work on more school work, considering we’ve been at school all day. Well sometimes motivation is key and keeping in mind that what’s got to be done must be done in a time managing manner to continually succeed in education. I learned that the hard way, multiple times.

With many distractions around us, students across the nation struggle with procrastination daily and it is on an upper spiral. Both men and women students are struggling with putting things off such as work, school, and tasks at home or in their dorms. Unfortunately, 20 percent of males and females are labeled as chronic procrastinators in the United States (Ferrari). Those who are known as “procrastinators” are not born this way, however, their upbringing is what creates this habit. Parents that have high expectations counteract the want to complete tasks among young adults. This is because demanding parents prevent children’s ability of development that allows them to regulate responsibilities (Marano). On the other hand, there are several different types of procrastination according to J. Ferrari, Ph.D. One type is known as the arousal type; this includes people who wait to do homework or tasks until the last minute because they enjoy working quickly under pressure.

During my time as an undergrad and now graduate student at Florida International University, I have dealt with a fair share of procrastination. After discussing this topic with other students I came to the realization I was not alone. Procrastination is quite common in university students and can adversely affect one’s life in a wide variety of ways. For students, procrastination may be especially troublesome, as it can interfere with the ability to

This project is honestly a lot like the real world, people with less money don't get as many benefits as the people who have more money and can actually afford to pay for things that make life alot easier. For instance my family who had more money easily had enough to get what we wanted to make our egg safe a lot like the real world and how people have money to keep their child safe.

I sat there perplexed by what my third grade teacher’s assignment asked me to do. I read the short story and knew the character’s names, but what was the meaning of the story? I kept asking myself the question hoping that I would understand what I had to write about on the blank page with empty lines.

Things got back to their usual course meaning I keep spending most of my days in front of my laptop while doing some exercices now and then plus pedalling my bike. I haven't even been to the park anymore to stand on my feet a bit. To be honest in my family there's a bad habbit of easily getting bored of new things after a short while. I should know cause it's the same with me. We all like doing our usual things too much to disrupt our program. But every bad thing always has a good part in it. In my case, since I spend a lot of my time at my laptop, at least I had more time to work on my blog. And I had received many warm positive feedback once I posted all seven days at the horse camp. In fact, Jancso Istvan asked me to translate it into Hungarian

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?
