Good morning, evening, afternoon my friends!

I'm back.

Um...

Yeah.

Today we will learn about procrastination.

!!You can skip this if you want!!

Okay so if you read this I have a story to tell you. It's just a little story from my school yesterday.
So I was walking to my locker and this short kid next to me is grabbing his books. Another guy came up to him and went, "Hey, shortie."
Of course the short guy got mad because nobody likes being short. So he was yelling at the bigger kid when the bigger kid just

slams him against the locker

and they started making out.

So their parents got called for PDA (Public displays of affection-- Kissing, holding hands, any sort of touching tied to relationships.)

!!Okay it's over!!

Procrastination.

Procrastination is the state of putting off work or events because of the lack of desire and motivation to complete them. 

Have you ever procrastinated?

Most people have; finishing an essay at three in the morning on the day it's due after you've had a week to do it is procrastination. Doing your homework in first period because you wanted to read The Hug Cult™ instead is procrastination.

But why do we procrastinate?

Well, failure is mentally deteriorating so we constantly put our work aside to mentally prepare for the draining of getting a bad grade on an assignment.

We also have much better things to do thaN FINDING THE PATTERNS IN A SET OF 7:8, 5:6, 3:4 AND 0:1 MRS. MCVEY!!!!!!!!! >:C

Sorry.

I hate math.

Anyways!

Procrastination often leads to failure, even though that is what you were trying to avoid in the first place.

Don't want an F on your test so you put off studying to stop reminding yourself of the impairing doom of confusion written on paper?
Well, you just failed because you played Minecraft all night.

Don't want to do your homework because your friends are going to the mall and your parents promised to let you go after you finish your work?
Just slide it under the bed for a few hours and get to it instead of sleeping.
Which, of course, is horrible for your mental health and could end with you in the hospital.

As you can see, procrastination leads to failure many times.

So, how can you stop procrastinating?

--Think of the outcome. Will you be proud of yourself? If your parents know you did you work, that builds trust and they will let you do more. Not only that, but you have an A in math class. nice job!

--Study for three minutes longer than your breaks. A good way to do this would be: Study for twenty-three minutes, take a break from 17-20 minutes. Now your brain is rested but will still take a small amount of time to snap back into focus. Nice job on the test! You got an A and your parents took you out to eat.

--Make it fun! If you don't want to do chores, blast some music in earbuds! Make a game; if you don't finish chores by a certain time, you have to do it faster next week. If your parents aren't satisfied with your work, ask them what you could do better. Now your house is clean and you had a successful party! Everyone loves you and you're the life of the party everywhere.

As you can see, there's many things you can do to stop procrastinating.

If you have work to do get off Wattpad and go do it. 

Okay!

*Huggles!!!*

Bye-bye!
