Take this quiz to find out if you-or any students in your family-need to get serious about overcoming procrastination:
- Do you put off assignments until the last possible hour because you like to think of yourself as the type of person who works best under pressure?
- Do you write down your priorities before you start projects? Do many things seem unimportant when you look at them in the light of these priorities?
- Do you ask yourself which of several tasks is the most important one before you rush into an assignment?
- Do you concentrate on finishing an assignment when you're in danger of missing a deadline, rather than complaining that you never have enough time to get your work done?
- Do you make sure your friends know when not to disturb you?
- Do you turn off the TV and your phone when you need to work on an important assignment? Do you concentrate completely on what you're doing now, rather than dwelling on what you did in the past?
- When you've done the best you can, are you content to wrap up a project and hand it in as it is?-Do you generally make good estimates of how much time it will take to finish an assignment?
If you answered "no" to any of the above questions but the first one (I hope you answered "no" to that one), you can develop better study habits by getting serious about procrastination.
