Believe it or not, i am making an effort not to be the procrastinator that i usually am. It's an evolving process, but i will get there in time. I know that this is important for me because when i get bogged down with lots of homework, i begin to second guess myself which then makes me depressed and i find it hard to focus....gotta love that snowball effect.
So, i will spend most of the next two days either working or doing homework. That is fine. But from here on out, i really must do a better job of this. One of the reasons it will be beneficial for me is that i tend to miss out on many social things because of my procrastination. Sometimes, missing social occasions is inevitable. There are times when i truly have too much to do and not enough time to do it. But, for those other occasions, i need to make time for them by doing my assignments in a timely manner.
As many of you have recognized, i miss a lot of things because i am trying to be focused. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, dinners, parties, friends in town....they are all subject to my absence because of my procrastination capabilities. And while i recognize that focusing on my school work IS important, after all i am going into debt to get a degree and have a career, if i do not learn to balance things better, i will burn out quickly. Self care is a huge proponent of what we must do as social workers and that can be difficult for me. If you knew my mother and grandmother, you will understand that our personal well being is often at the bottom of the list....an inherited trait!
Well, that is all for now because i have homework to do. Enjoy your Sunday!
Cheers!
