Monday, the beginning of the week, like usual I got up very early to go to school. In school I was very sleepy just like every Monday. I didn’t feel like doing anything of the work the teacher instructed us to do, just like most people in class. So there I was sitting, then I started to daydream, I daydreamed about the boy I liked and me going out on a date just watching a movie and spending the day together. It was then that I looked at the clock and realized that more than fifteen minutes had passed and the class was over. During the rest of the day during every class while the teacher would be giving lecture I would just think about something that had happened, and then I would imagine an alternate ending. I would imagine calling someone on the phone, and I played out the entire conversation in my head. Sometimes I would just look out the window and look at the trees and their green leaves moving as the breeze passed by them, the white clouds which I would find similarity with an object, at the squirrels chasing and playing around with each other, or even just the grass. Next th...

The next morning, it was such a strenuous struggle to rise from my bed, I could have sworn I had been lying in quicksand all night. Walking in school was like swimming in a thick marsh. I had nothing to look forward to. Thursdays used to be the greatest day of the week, but now, all Thursdays held was gloom. That day, all I knew was despair, and it smothered me. This went on until I met up with a friend o...
The article “Daydreaming to navigate the social world: what we know, what we don’t know, and why it matters”, written by Giulia Lara Poerio and Jonathan Smallwood, suggests that daydreaming is a potentially adaptive form of social cognition that works to benefit a person’s health and social life in several ways. An extensive review of multiple peer-reviewed articles served as the basis for argument on these topics, as well as the authors’ own interpretation of data collected in several other studies. Showing that daydreaming and other socially cognitive mechanisms share a similar neural basis.
Procrastination has negative effects on our mental and physical health, which can lead to poor sleep. Hairston and colleagues believe that procrastination is associated with sleep troubles, an association mediated by ruminative cognitions (Hairston et al., 2016). Participants completed an online questionnaire regarding procrastination; sleep troubles, rumination, emotional state, and biological clock. The results showed that in evening types procrastination positively correlates with sleep trouble, negative affect, and rumination. However, for morning types there is no correlation between procrastination and sleep disturbances. Thus, the results from this study will have an impact on treatment and interventions of insomnia and procrastination
Not all habits are beneficial, and I happen to suffer from one of the most hindering habits. Procrastination ruins a lot of my day-to-day life; often I lack motivation or drive to finish something, or I set it aside until the last second. It is a toxic trait that I find a lot of people develop early on in high school; I was one of the unlucky people to start procrastinating. I know all too well of the struggles that come with procrastination, whether that be not turning things on time and putting off tasks until the last minute, or being indecisive about what I want to do, being a procrastinator is an unfortunate trait.
Maladaptive Daydreaming is a psychological concept also described as excessive dreaming. It’s not a bad thing as long as you understand the difference between reality and fantasy.
Procrastination & nbsp; & nbsp; It is Monday morning and I have slept in, thanks to Thanksgiving. In fact, it's twelve o'clock and I am free for the afternoon. As usual, I sit in. front of the television after I clean myself up, staring endlessly at the screen with my finger clicking on the remote.
Every wonder why the mind have a tendency to go off focus and, start to think about something else than the task at hand. You start to think about where rather be than where you are or an event that happen in the past. The state of consciousness is called daydreaming. Daydreaming is “a common variation of consciousness in which attention shifts to memories and desires, away from the immediate situation” (Zimbarbo 332). Mostly everyone part take in daydreaming every day. Going without daydreaming is abnormal. Normally thirty (30) percent of the day is spent daydreaming(Zimbarbo 332). People daydreaming can be positive and negative . There different themes and w
Sleeping and Dreaming Despite the large amount of time we spend asleep, surprisingly little is actually known about sleeping and dreaming. Much has been imagined, however. Over history, sleep has been conceived as the space of the soul, as a state of absence akin to death, as a virtual or alternate reality, and more recently, as a form of (sub)consciousness in which memories are built and erased. The significance attributed to dreams has varied widely as well.
The bell of Highland High school rang and all the doors swung open. Students were rushing out of the school’s entrance. I hurried my way out of the school and decided to go to a store close by. It was a ten-minute walk. On this particular day I was craving some powdered donuts. While I was in my class I would think about how soft and delicious they would taste after a long day of learning things I didn’t find interesting. As I was walking to the store I thought about how boring my first year of High school is. I was distressed by the fact that I had to endure three more years of a place I considered a prison. When I finally got the store I rushed to the donut section and grabbed two bags of powdered donuts. I paid for my donuts and walked to my house, which was another five-minute walk. I hated taking this route because there is a warehouse across from my home. So many semis pass by my house and they would make extremely lurid noises. It was as if I was living at a construction site. When I arrived to my house I swiftly went into my room hoping nobody would see the bag of powdered donuts. I opened
Have you ever thought about why we daydream? I myself have had series of thoughts wondering why I daydream. Daydreaming are a steam of thoughts and Images that occupy most of a person’s waking hours. The stream of consciousness personally reflects on the world and visualizes the future. Some say that daydreaming can be bad and get in the way. They think that daydreaming is just nothing but a “cloud of thoughts” in other words a waste of time. But daydreams are more or less realistic and unintentional thoughts of the daydreamer’s life. Daydreaming is a way to escape reality, and maybe can help plan for the future.

Procrastination is the process of putting something off until later on. Today’s teenagers are known for being the biggest procrastinators, but we question, does procrastination come natural to today’s teenagers? First of all, what does natural mean? My personal definition of natural is to come without any thought or to come as an instinct. So do teenagers really put things off for later on without any thought? I say no they don’t.

I got up early that morning due to an improper sleep during the previous night. It was due to the anxiety to start fresh with my new life. I was determined to be the best in whatever it is that I do, so that I would have something to be proud of in the pages of my life. Due to the fear of reaching late during my first day, I reached one hour earlier than necessary and decided to spend some time at KTC (Kelapa gading Trade Center) which is located right beside the University. I was hoping that time would move a lot faster because I wanted to find out about what was going to happen next. But it is a common fact that if we are anxiously waiting for something, time would seem to crawl a lot slower. When it was finally the time to head back to the campus, I hoped for everything to go on smoothly, just as how I expected it. I braced myself and went to meet Sofia, who was responsible for the new students, to inquire about my classroom. After being instructed on which room to go to, I started walking towards the class, the mixture of excitement and nervousness start to fill within me. I started to feel like standard 1 all over again where I was a little kid who didn’,t know where to go. I didn’,t know anyone in the class except for Diksha who is my childhood friend.
