Time Management

1 min read

Just like a lot of people, I struggle with time management and procrastination problems. I mean obviously because I've had about a week to do this and I'm just doing it now. I tend to overestimate how driven my future self will be and ignore the reality that I'll probably be even less motivated to do said task because I'm further from when I first thought about doing it. 

I also tend to underestimate how long a task will take me so I'll mentally schedule out everything to do for the day, but only get a few things done because I either kept taking breaks making the task take longer or the task actually took longer than expected. 

The biggest problem is that my chronic procrastination works which is why I keep doing it. If it didn't, I probably would've stopped the first few times. However, I've found that I do my best work from 2am-4am the night before an assignment's due. I hate myself every second for it and think of all the times I could've done it earlier, but when I find out I did well, I use that to justify future occurances.
