Procrastination Station

The procrastination article was an eye-opener for me because it made a connection between my behaviors that I never noticed. My top two reasons for procrastination are "being overextended" and "faulty assumptions"   . . . surprise, surprise! I think that being a part of Visions is going to force me to conquer these weaknesses because there is so much at stake. I realized "being overextended" is a rather easy fix and I plan on drastically cutting back next semester. In all honesty, I probably should have cut back this semester. I am currently an RA, Health Promotion Peer Educator, Study Abroad Ambassador, Film Studies and Business Entrepreneurship and Development Major taking 18 hours, and now I am a director for Visions . . . Yikes! Somethings gotta give and I need to figure out what I am willing to let go of. Spreading myself so thin is not fair to myself or to the efforts and organizations that I lend my time to. Also, I am doing myself a disservice when I do not take time to look into how much time and effort something is going to take to do. A "Yes" should only come out of my mouth if I can give a 100% and know the extent of the commitment I am signing up for.

Goal: Only one melt down this semester . . . Stay Tuned!
