Title:  Am I a Procrastinator?



We have just rung in the New Year, and it is customary to make resolutions at this time.  In order to make meaningful resolutions and set attainable goals, it is important to reflect on our current actions.  



Read the following article about Overcoming Procrastination.

Are you a procrastinator?  Do you procrastinate frequently, or does it only happen occasionally?  Create a new blog post to answer these questions by including the following:

Paragraph 1
Once you have read the article,  review the bullet points and select the one you think best pinpoints why you procrastinate.  Use examples of your behavior to support your selection. If you are not a procrastinator, select the bullet point that you think is most likely the reason why most people procrastinate.  Use examples of others you know to support your selection.  (No names - Do not throw others under the bus publicly.)

Paragraph 2
Read the suggestions in "How to Overcome Procrastination."  Select one or two of the bullet points that you think you can try this year to improve your performance in the classroom, on the job, your personal life, etc.  Comment about how you will try to use these suggestions to reduce procrastination.  



Remember to include the following in your post:
  • Response is well-thoughtout.  Concise writing (few words hit the point) is better than rambling paragraphs. 
  • Interesting layout through placement, use of text color, size, fonts, etc.
  • Free of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization errors.
  • Media is included in the following manner:
    • Link to the media on which you are commenting
    •  Two links to two different types of supporting material
      • Other articles
      • Websites
      • Videos
      • Graphics
      • And more
