Prorastinating

Visible to anyone in the world

We are less than a week in to the start of university and typically, I have found a way to procrastinate already. I've laid my learning out as such; Online for both modules, followed by reading and note taking in the textbooks for both modules and finishing online again for both, with tutorials in between. I suppose we'll see how well this works after the first dreaded assignment feedback returns!

My procrastination comes during textbook hours. I read and make notes on one section, then give myself a break. This usually results in an hour of scrolling, half an hour for a snack (growing a baby leads to forever eating), then another unnecessarily long amount of time getting distracted, usually by online shopping! Oh and look at that, it's time for the school run, work day is done and back to family life!

Perhaps it's already clear that my methods won't work in the long run. Who'd have thunk it.

I have, however, successfully finished 1 whole chapter! it took 3 days to do 20 pages...
