Problems: Procrastination and unpreparedness

    On the topic of procrastination and unpreparedness, I think they go hand in hand. When one procrastinates on an assignment, that will lead to inadequate work on that assignment thus being unprepared on the day it is due. I have really tried to do the work on the day it is assigned but it can be hard to work on it when you have other activities rather than school work. The brief focus I get to work hard on an assignment is right after it is assigned. When I stop working on it, I start to procrastinate. For instance, during the summer going into my freshman year, I knew I would have to work on my summer work for high school. I was really focused right at the beginning of summer break. As I worked hard for the first few weeks and then stopped and enjoyed the break. When we came back to school, I procrastinated on some assignments and even forgot to write an Odyssey essay for English. From my procrastination, I was unprepared from the first day of school.
