Assignment 20: How to... PROCRASTINATE! - Amanda Byerman

One of the things I am most proficient at in this world is procrastination. I have a knack for waiting juuust long enough to get work done, but to of course not waste any of that time that could have been spent, say, napping or reading. You, too, could be so successful in these 5 simple steps:

1) Consider what you need to do. Maybe write it down in a planner, maybe schedule out time to do it. Make sure to invest a lot of time and energy into making this plan and think about how important it is to stick to. The best time to make these plans is in the first part of the school day, when you are feeling most energetic and like there is infinite time left in the day.

2) Get home, think about all the other things for you to do. Consider how cold it is, climb into your bed, and consider that you have the REST OF THE DAY to do your work. And that's what, 9 hours? You'll totally get it done.

3) Wake up. It's 6 pm. Your mom's angry and it's time for dinner. You look at your planner. How much more could you possibly have to do? It'll get done. Go downstairs, eat dinner with your family. Maybe get some english or physics done.

4) Look a the clock. It's 11 pm. You're really tired. You've got most of it done.

5) Wake up the next morning. Rush around getting ready. Rushing about has proven to increase circulation and productivity in the mornings. Grab a pic of your math textbook.

6) Finish your math homework at lunch (pre-calc is 4th period). Resist the temptation to do it during English, Spanish, or Physics. You can do it.

I promise, it'll get done (eventually).
