How to procrastinate productively

If you’re anything like me, than you are the expert at procrastinating. You live and breathe last-minute assignments and you thriveunder the pressure of time crunches. You’ve survived countless essays and reading responses under the most harrowing of circumstances, the most stringent of 11:59’s. And the best (or perhaps, worst) part of it all is that you’re good at it. Nobody can tell you otherwise.

Well, as a fellow procrastinator, I’m here to do just that—tell you otherwise.

And as much I can say that I’m the best at studying (i’m not), old habits die hard. BUT, I have found a way that has worked so far, so here it is:

1. “Procrastinate” on bigger, more important tasks with smaller easier-to-do ones.

Often times, I’ll find that no matter how hard I try, I cannot bring myself to study that hard concept or read that looooong chapter I’ve been dreading all week. So I’ll do other tasks that’ll need to get done later anyway (like sending an email or even writing a certain blog post for a certain website…). The effects of this are two-fold: you’ll cross something off your to-do list and the very act of crossing said thing off to-do list (metaphorically or physically, your choice) will get the ball rolling for other, harder tasks. It’s all mind over matter. You’ll just start to feel more productive the more you get done.

2. Organize your study space/room/notes, etc.

Speaking of mind over matter, a cluttered desk is a cluttered mind. Taking out the trash or organizing your backpack are, once again, tasks that will need to get done sooner or later. Instead of wasting the time you should be spending studying on Netflix (or her lesser known but equally time consuming cousin, Pinterest), spend it organizing! If you haven’t already noticed the trend here, it’s all about maximizing your time with something productive, even if it’s not THE thing you’re procrastinating on.

3. If you just can’t get yourself to study, join something that’ll force you to.

If there is anything that I could forever imprint into the minds of my fellow Blue Jays, old and new, it’s to ENROLL IN PILOT!!!! Read that once, then go back and read it again. PILOT is a peer-led tutoring service that stresses group learning over individual learning. You’re not mindlessly studying things that, in the back of your mind, you know you won’t ever be tested on; you’re given problem sets that are (actually!) made by the professor. You’re led by a PILOT leader, someone that’s taken the class (and done well in it), who leads a group of you and your classmates to work through the problems together.

You can also try to eat while watching something, like a show or a movie. Remember it is absolutely okay to rest and procrastinate.

I hope these tips have helped, and that you, vis-à-vis me, feel a sudden urge to finish that thing you’ve been putting off. Whatever it is, good luck!

Thank you.

Importance of education in our society

Education is a tool which provides people with knowledge, skill, technique, information, enables them to know their rights and duties toward their family, society as well as the nation.  It develops the capabilities to fight against injustice, violence, corruption and many other bad elements in the society. Education gives us knowledge of the world around us. Education does play a very important role in the society, regardless which country or region of the world you’re living. India upholds Right to Education through the Constitution of India and its various amendments. Their aim is educating underprivileged sections of the Indian society and girls.  Education plays a very important role in the society of every nation. In fact, it’s the very basis for development of any society and country. One of the main reason is it decided social status. It’s no secret that highly educated people have better career and business options compared over those who’ve none or lesser education. An educated person is able to aptly distinguish between rights and wrongs. An educated person is an asset to the country. They also contribute significantly to the growth of the local economy of the state or region and the national economy as well. Education allows people to provide better lifestyle for their families. 

How can education improve your life?

Some people think that education is limited. They think that education is all about learning some limited subject and earn a certificate. These people are known as narrow-minded people. Education is life and We can improve our lives through the best education. Education is necessary to increase our opportunities to get a job. Also when you start your preparations for interview, you have to sure about your resume. Your resume have to be unique and perfect so it reflects your personality. When you have good skills, you will enhance your resume. Mental health is also important as physical health. We can improve mental health through learning something new or learning some new language. Every step you take will make you happy, you gain the confidence by taking actions and accomplishing your goals. We all should never stop learning. As life never stops, people should never stop learning. It creates new opportunities. Learning keeps your life going on. After all, you study and succeed, you can live on your own, no one can beat you when you are formative enough to gain work and live independently. So, education will be your solution to be independent. Education, not only, will improve your life, but also other’s lives. So keep it up and make a future better!

About Education

Education is the process of learning and improving knowledge, skills, values and habits. There are many educational methods include teaching, telling story, discussion, motivating etc. Education can take place in formal or informal. Formal education means it includes preschool, primary school, secondary school, higher secondary school and then college, university. formal education takes place in a school environment with classrooms of multiple students learning together. Each school system is different. They have many different choices like curriculum, about classroom, teaching staff, number of students etc. But I think that now a days education is very important for all. There is a important role of preschool and primary school. Proper and good education is very important for all of us. It facilitates quality learning all through the life among people of any age group, cast, creed, religion and region.
