We all know that procrastination is the pitfall of almost everyone. If we (or I) just\u00a0did work when it was assigned, then most of us wouldn’t be here. Sometimes it\u2019s incredibly difficult to figure out what you need to do first once you get to this point.<\/p>\n

I am so beyond<\/em> guilty of stressing and crying to the point of sickness and not getting anything productive done. Productive in itself, I know.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve not-so-quickly realized that I need to start prioritizing what I need to do. Don’t get me wrong, we all know I love to list and make lists of what to do, but it doesn’t get the job done like prioritizing\u00a0does. Like right now. Y’all are going to be part of my process of prioritizing what I need to do today.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m really messing myself up because I need to do a lot in a little bit of time. I should have spent my Easter Break a little more productively. Oops again :\/<\/p>\n

    What you (and I) need to do now is to determine what is most important.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m going to say that it\u2019s a tie between everything due tomorrow, so posts, presentation, and a paper<\/em>. If it makes you feel better, do a little bit of each, a little bit at a time. That\u2019s what I\u2019ll do. A little bit of a post, a little bit of a presentation, an then a little bit of a paper.<\/p>\n

    A great idea is to\u00a0do what you want to do most first. Do you have more inspiration and creativity for an upcoming project? Do that first! Your passion and interest in it will make it more enjoyable and you\u2019ll probably have a better outcome if you write down all your ideas once they come into your brain. Don’t stress too much. I always tell myself that it’ll always get done…eventually.<\/p>\n

    Good luck prioritizing! Don’t stress! Happy planning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
