Don't Delay - check this out before midnight tonight......operators are standing by.......
Jeff Miller writes about a dreadful situation at St. Louis Univesity.
Don’t delay - check it out for yourself.
Besides more depressing news on the front of ‘Catholic’ higher education, I am forced to face some of my own worst demons.
What Does Your Procrastination Look Like? {Paste scary picture of me here} You:
* Ignore the task and hope it will go away
* Deceive yourself into thinking a mediocre performance will still get you where you want to go (Well, it has in the past....)
* Either overestimate your abilities and resources or underestimate the work involved in the task
* Believe that repeated minor delays are harmless, when they really add up to lots of wasted time
* Substitute one activity for another (dusting instead of studying) (how about blogging instead of laundry?)
* Focus on only one part of the task (writing and rewriting the introductory paragraph of a paper)
* Take steps to work, but don't follow through (cancel plans, take books on vacation)
* Become stuck deciding between two task choices and neither project gets completed (Take nap or read instead)
*Go watch something on TV, like the nth showing of The Godfather on Bravo or A Charlie Brown Christmas on tape.
