For the improvement section of my SLC I am going to focus on procrastination and more specifically my Civil Rights Little Big Story.
Around the middle/ end of the school year I can always feel myself losing interest in sitting in school for 5 and a half hours, for 5 days a week. And that leads to the not so wonderful thing called procrastination, I am a pro at procrastination when I want to be but that is not something I should be proud of. Don’t get me wrong, when I procrastinate, I am not the type of person to sit on my phone when I know I need to work. I am the type of person that knows that they have a big project due at the end of the month and really doesn’t want to do it, so I fill every moment with homework that is due the next day, to softball, to cleaning my room. I can’t say I don’t go on my phone at all, because I would be lying, but when I am mid-stage procrastination I need to always look like I am doing something productive. But this is a bad thing. I tell myself that I am being productive because I am doing something that needs to get done, but usually the thing I am doing is not very important at the moment in time.
I have tried making timetables and schedules of when what need to be done and by when. And sometimes that it very effective, but other times… I am able to find something to do that my brain thinks is more important when really it’s not. Before next year I want to have an effective way not to procrastinate.
Okay now onto my Civil Rights LBS, this is one good example of procrastination… Or maybe I was just busy… Either way, it did not get completed till a few days before the exhibition. I was still proud of my final piece of work but I do know that if I had started earlier, I would have been able to do a lot better and fix up the tiny mistakes, like me speaking too fast.
