Procrastination. You\u2019re sitting on your bed, watching Netflix. The clock tells you, it is <br \/>18:55. \u201cIn five minutes\u201d, you think to yourself, \u201cI will start my essay.\u201d The next time you look at <br \/>the clock, it reads 19:01. Now we have a problem. You rattle your brain for answers, knit your <br \/>eyebrows, and a light bulb lights up in your head. The perfect solution: Start at 19:15.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I should be studying maths. Instead, I am writing this post. Maths and me, we disagree <br \/>sometimes, and I tend to avoid it when I can. Things that make me feel uncomfortable or that I <br \/>don\u2019t really want to do, lead me to procrastinate \u2013 and I am not the only one.<\/p>\n<p>Especially students are familiar with leaving assignments to the last minute or pulling an all-<br \/>nighter for an exam the next day that they couldn\u2019t bring themselves to study for before. This <br \/>results in losing trust in oneself, moreover, feeling guilty of unfulfilled promises. Sometimes, it <br \/>can leave you feeling helpless.<\/p>\n<p>But fear not, my friends, for I will give you advice on how to beat procrastination. Even though <br \/>it doesn\u2019t feel like it, you are in control. The clock doesn\u2019t determine when you start working, you <br \/>do. What helps, is knowing the reason why you are procrastinating. In addition, splitting the task <br \/>into smaller steps can help you see that maybe it isn\u2019t as hard as you thought it would be. And if <br \/>you cannot seem to get started, do said task for two minutes only. The point is to make it so easy <br \/>that it would be ridiculous to avoid it.<\/p>\n<p>You are like the author of a book, don\u2019t get stuck on the first few pages. You decide what <br \/>happens next. And if you are procrastinating by reading this, well, I hope you found a reason to <br \/>continue what you were working on.<\/p>\n<p>Or do it tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Steininger 7M \/\/ December 2021 <br \/>Oberstufe \/\/ Non-Fiction \/\/ Blog post about \u2018procrastination\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica Steininger 7M \/\/ December 2021<br \/>\nOberstufe \/\/ Non-Fiction \/\/ Blog post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":239083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-239768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aycr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=239768"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":239771,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239768\/revisions\/239771"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/239083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=239768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=239768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brghamerling.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=239768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
