Agys Práce studentů

This is my second lockdown of the year, with the only difference that I am in a country that is not mine and without my family, which psychologically doesn’t help, but I think that you can definitely survive, especially If you can distract yourself.

Procrastinating. Oh, what a wonderful thing it is. Instead of doing what you are supposed to do, you do all the other things that needed to be done but were put off because they did not seem appealing at that time.

I procrastinate. I procrastinate often, I procrastinate with a portion of enthusiasm and I´m frankly proud of it. Why would I like it all that much, you ask? Have you heard of active procrastination?

Agys Práce studentů

I personally am a very big slave to this, I leave stuff to be done in the last seconds and I’ve been fighting with it since before I can remember and I am quite sure that I’m not alone in this big long endless battle against myself.

This evil habit of postponing tasks has become one of the most common self-diagnoses among people. Especially at the time of quarantine. Your last online lesson is over. You make yourself something to eat and then take a two-hour nap. You wake up and think “Hey, maybe I should get my hands on the challenging assignment. It is due to …
