This seems like such a silly write up, but I’m noticing that it’s not as easy for me to complete a task unless I’m at the absolute limit of time to where it needs to get done. For example, I needed to study for an exam over the course of a week…I just started today, and the exam is tomorrow 💀. I have 4 chapters to read to and just finished the 1st :').
On one hand, I think having that kind of sense of urgency is good when you’re dealing with an “emergency”, but like…its not really ideal to constantly be in “emergency” mode. Besides the obvious answer of doing stuff early, how do I stop doing this 😦…
Hi thanks for the lengthy write up!
I definitely bombed the test 🥴… Im gonna withdraw from the class because I’d rather not get dragged down by the grade. It sucks because I was already late to the class by like 2 weeks, so it was constant catch up on top of organizing, the gym, and hanging out. I bombed 3/3 exams and missed a few in person labs, so yeah…
I definitely wasn’t watching the lecture or even the book until a test came around the corner smh. I can’t even really say other things took priority because a lot of the time was spent procrastinating 💀.
I had a standard lab with lecture broken up over the course of a week, and other asynchronous classes. The in person was the main blunder.
You’re welcome and you’ll do better next time.
Studying is hard. It seems easy. Like, all you have to do is ‘turn up’ and learn things as they’re presented to you. It all falls apart in practice, because life happens at the same time. Or it did, for me, at least. I do hope the little tricks that helped me help you.
