Most of my time is committed to work, school, and boyfriend. I work and go to school from eight to five, Monday through Friday. On Monday and Tuesday evenings after work, I go to belly dance class on the west side of Wichita. Then I go to my boyfriend’s house and he usually makes dinner for me or we cook together. After dinner, I devote my time to homework, the same as I do the other evenings. Of course I leave myself time to shower and prepare for the next day. On the weekends I usually spend my time with my boyfriend, running sound for different events, along with church on Sunday morning and evening. Every Thursday and Friday I tell myself that I have all weekend to catch up on homework, but once it gets there, I tend to procrastinate. I think procrastination is the number one problem students struggle with in their academic studies. Making a list of the things you need to do helps a lot in setting your daily goals and promoting motivation. I have found, however, that when the list has fewer items, the more likely you leave yourself open to disappointment. The reason for this, is because things don’t always go the way we want them to, therefore, when we don’t get the items scratched off, it feels as if you didn’t achieve anything. When you put even the smallest items and make your lists big, it feels like you have done a lot, thus motivating you to achieve more goals. I used to do this before and I think I need to start making my lists again. They help me prioritize my time and organize everything that I need to do.
