Time Management vs Distractions

Having to face the reality that work has to be done is the biggest enemy as a procrastinator. Suddenly when you have so many things on your plate there is much more to do in life than to do work! Having no initiative to do the work is the one of the factors of  leaving it until the last minute. In the early stages of being a young adult you should be developing a habit of how to manage your time wisely. If your instructor wants a printed copy of your essay, and you are in the process of writing it, do not open up a web browser along with your word document. From first hand experience I have learned that having only the necessary items open really speeds up the process of finishing up my work.

Procrastinator of the Day: The Dalai Lama

Tenzin Gyatso better known as the 14th Dalai Lama was not always the great leader he is today. During his time as a student, he too found it very difficult to be motivated to do work. "Only in the face of a difficult challenge or an urgent deadline would I study and work hard without laziness" he says.

"You must not procrastinate, rather you should make preparations so that if you die tonight, you would have no regrets" - Dalai Lama
