Hello humans!!!! Well as you can probably tell from the title I am a huge procrastinator. Now, I'm not talking about getting distracted every now and then, catching myself watching random YouTube videos - I'm talking expert level procrastination, like watching hours of videos on how to study instead of just picking up my books and studying, reading the entire constitution when I have two essays due the next day I am sure you all are very aware what I'm talking about.
So now that you know the above I feel like we are better acquainted. So we have the 'action', procrastination, now on to the 'object' basically all of my subjects: English advanced and extension, ancient history and history extension, mathematics, physics and business services (which I completed last year... one HSC done and dusted! Woooooo).
Hmmmm did I hear you ask 'what about the adjectives and adverbs?' Ahh well, the descriptive words that are usually paired with my use of procrastination are: pointless, very-un-smart, detrimental, brave, habitual, creative, dangerous, humorous.
If you are thinking wow this is quite random, well you are quite right.
Ahh yes so this age-old battle of procrastination vs productivity is waging war within me (even right now as I click these keys) so this HSC Journey Journal is an attempt, a strategy if you wish to tip the scales. To start with I will implement this 3 step plan:
1. Record what I wanted/ needed to achieve
2. Record what I actually did (including my 'moments' of procrastination - I have a feeling that this part is bound to give you a giggle)
3. Hold myself accountable and (this is where you lovely people come in) Be held accountable by AN community
Don't worry throughout I will most definitely include my random thoughts and insights because I know how great other peoples randomity (yes, this is not a real word) and inner thoughts are for procrastinating with (which I know some of you people reading this are doing right now, but don't worry I won't tell anyone
, plus kind of procrastinating my history extension major project by writing this now)
Ok peoples that's it for my first entry, congrats if you made it to the end.
Question time: '
does anyone else kind of like racing the clock to finish an assessment or task (due to their procrastination). Internally you think: 'the teacher I'll run out of time if I start it the night before it's due.... haha watch me!!!' Ahhh the thrill of rebellion...
Peace out, peeps
