I am not really sure on what to talk about but I have been procrastinating a lot on my homework by looking at my phone, irritating my brothers, and flat out just doing nothing. So I guess this free write will be out procrastination. I think there are days that everyone has when they just get this motivation and determination to be productive in their day. Whether something is productive or not I think it is objective and specific to every individual. Personally, productivity looks something like getting urgent matters finished. This comes in the shape of chores, exercise, but most importantly schoolwork. But then in comes everyone’s worst enemy procrastination. Everybody talks about it and everybody hates yet we can not stop doing it. Is it an addiction? A human tendency? Well I do not know the answer to the questions and I am far too lazy to look it up. Which is just another form of procrastination I do. Time to time I am able to zone in and grind those essays and homework I would put off until the last minute. However, after years of experience I can say that pulling some kind of all nighter or sitting at a desk for hours nonstop is not worth it. It would be much easier if I instead acted like those model students that start their things early so they do not have to stress out so much in the end. The problem with that is that even when I do get a good start ahead, I end up not doing anything until the time right before its due date. I definitely do not enjoy doing those things so I keep wondering why it is I continue to put myself in those situations. I can go and on about my procrastination habits including one of my more stranger ones. For this habit I end up doing homework for a class due days in advance just to put off the more urgent thing that is due the next day. That pretty much sums up my rant on procrastination and if anyone would like to help me please feel free to give me some tips.
I definitely have the tendency to procrastinate. I have been better as the years went by, but sometimes I wait until last minute to do things. However, I actually have been getting more stuff done earlier because I have nothing else to do at home. I think as a teenager and high schooler, we have so much going on, we tend to be lazier. Not to mention, this quarantine might make some of us less motivated. But you are a junior and your classes are things you tend to not really enjoy that much even though you had the choice, seniors get first dibs on things. So as a junior, it is just something you gotta fight through.

This free write really went deep into the idea of procrastination and triggered some deep reflection into myself. Ever considered being a philosopher? But all jokes aside when I’m on my bed staring up at the ceiling I think of this sometimes and i ask myself why is it so hard to do my homework, just do it right?
