Procrastination

I need many types of ways to stop myself from procrastinating. I decided to do use the Admitting the Consequences technique as another way of helping my procrastination problems. I used it to help myself with my Biology test, math quiz, and sociology readings. These are the three classes that I procrastinate in the most. I started off by identifying the subjects I procrastinated in the most. Then I identified the consequences that I would experience as a result of my procrastination. For biology I had to study so my consequence would be earning a poor grade on my exam. This consequence is the same as for my math class because I have a quiz and if I did not study then that would result in getting a bad grade on the quiz. If I do not read for sociology than I will not earn participation points during class.

I rated the consequences for Biology and Math 285 as positive because they make me want to study and earn good grades. The consequence I have for Sociology of Health and Illness is ranked as negative because not earning participation points does not really affect the way I do my homework. If I can get out of reading an extreme amount I will and participation points will not force me to do the readings. The consequences I have for not studying for a test have forced me to study so I will be able to do well. Earning poor grades is not something I want to do. This technique works for when I have tests, but not if I have readings or homework I have to accomplish.
