1. Since the solo move to New York in order to provide a better life and financial security for my family, I have to say that work definitely takes up my time. Wanting to be a great provider for me drives me even more to excel at my job in order to become a great employee, get a raise in pay, which will only increase my family’s financial success. I usually spend anywhere between 60 to 80 hours a week at my job. Working overtime keeps me occupied and gives me satisfaction knowing my family is able to enjoy more things in life.
I hate to admit it, but I have substituted family with school. I have devoted the remaining time I am not working within the week to my studies, in order to fill the vast void of missing my fiancée, two sons and baby

I don’t think that putting something off to do at a later time, however, when doing it becomes habitual is. Procrastination is a pause in your life where you find meaningless excuses to be lazy. To constantly postpone something and there is no reason to do so can be the reason why you didn’t get the job, why you failed your exam, or why you wasn’t promoted; you kept putting it off and missed your opportunity. For me, breaking up the main task into smaller ones, helps me the most. I can out my week better knowing that I will not be bogged down all day trying to finish a task. I use this as motivation because once I finish that smaller task I may go and work out or catch a movie. To just start the task does wonders for me, in that once I start any task, I have to see it …show more content…

6. Working and being proactive with school can really place you in a bind, especially if there is no balance between a demanding job and tackling studies. I work a twelve hour shift at my job; however I am not working the entire shift. I may work an average of 6-8 hours a shift; as a result, tackling studies during my slack benefits me the most; keeps me from falling asleep at work and I can get ahead of schedule with my studies. Utilizing my lunch hour for studying is a great to get a good study session in. You be surprised how much an hour of studying can aid you in preparation for an exam or
My life has been full of things that I have been putting off, just because it is not an official deadline does not make it any less necessary. There are so many things that need doing, and so little time to do them all, why does getting something done seem so difficult? I am consistently busy with things that have to be done, and yet I am truly incapable of doing what needs done. There are a number of reasons for procrastination that are truly valid reasons, but identifying the problem and taking control is a necessary evil, finding the motivation to do it is the real issue. That is the question of the ages really, the book Human Motivation by Robert Franken points out that motivation, what it is, where it comes from, how to encourage it etc.

Do not procrastinate. Choose a task and start working on it. Delaying a task will only make it that much hard to get started. Commit yourself to working on the task for a specific amount of time each day until it is completed.
A. H. C. Chu and J. N. Choi, psychologists, distinguished two types of protracting, they discovered that active procrastination has attainable characteristics that lead to positive personal outcomes (Choi and Moran). These positive personal outcomes are a result of waiting at its finest. People with these adequate dilatory skills have probably learned from their deficient habits in the past that may help everyone know that the view of holding off can change. Writing this essay has changed my view on procrastination slightly, as I can see how it can be good for you. With my siblings, free time is limited. So taking time to do something more entertaining helps me take a break from stressful work. Then when I get back to it I feel more confident that I can focus and finish it. That’s an example of active procrastination for me. Frank Partnoy shows historical views on procrastination, in an article about his book, such as how “The Greeks and Romans generally regarded procrastination highly. The wisest leaders embraced procrastination and would basically sit around and think and not do anything unless they absolutely had to” (Gambino 2012). Those Romans and Greeks were able to enjoy their time of relaxation, using procrastination as a healthy tool rather than a bad habit. Even wise leaders used it! What an amazing realization that we get procrastination from
Oxford dictionary (n.d.) defines procrastination as “the action of delaying and postponing something”. People sometimes carrying out less urgent projects or do more pleasurable things first and put off what really is important (Wikipedia, 2014). A lot of people do the tasks they have to complete at the last minute. Solomon and Rothblum (1984) state that procrastination is “the act of needlessly delaying tasks to the point of experiencing subjective discomfort” (Solomon & Rothblum, 1984, P.1). Procrastination is not only a lost of productivity but it also leads to regrets and damaged self-esteem (Association for Psychological Science, 2009). Procrastination can be a single monumentally important keystone bad habit that affects many areas of your life (Oakley via Coursera, 2014). It shares features with addition, such as offering
In every work place you will find employees who are happy with what they do and employees who are just there to complain and collect a paycheck. My topic for this discussion will cover job dissatisfaction.
The academic journey from my childhood up to my ongoing college experience was an important role in defining who I am as an individual. Like any other person, I eventually gained the understanding and importance of essential qualities like time management, work ethic, developing strong mental mindset, and many other things throughout my years of education. Fortunately for me, I became aware of these things much earlier than my peers around me. However, being aware of these things was only a fraction towards success. Over time I’ve realized that the most critical part of success was gaining the discipline and willpower to apply these lessons and concepts.
I am older but there are many things I may consider such as becoming a
Most humans have habits, habits in which they do simply because if they do not do them they feel uncomfortable. Procrastination is one of those habits that not all, but most people suffer from. Procrastination means to put off key things to do less important things that could possibly wait. It has been proving that all most everyone procrastinates, but procrastination does not determine what type of person one is. Procrastination is like a virus or a bad cold that does not want to go away. If one does not stop the problem it will get bigger; therefore, if people do not control their procrastinating they will start to do it more. However, the worst time to procrastinate is in college. College students often forget hoe important time is. Being a procrastinator can lead to several different outcomes. Procrastination can led to either good or bad outcomes. It all depends on the person doing the procrastinating. Procrastination is not always meant to happen; sometimes it simply happens because a person is too busy. Procrastination has both good and bad causes and effects, can cause failure, and bad decisions.
During my work experience at , I was fortunate enough to have experienced firsthand and learned, many different sides of what goes into a project, the general process of how a project is initially planned, developed and completed; as well as how much work and detail goes into every stage. Another valuable lesson I have learned during these 12 weeks, were the many different types of work an Engineer has to perform, which in turn, have provided me with more insight into the different types of roles and responsibilities that I could perform, as a Civil Engineer.
Most people imagine their dream job is to become a famous actor or a job they have seen done many times. Though because of the progression of technology I would be more suited in a field involving computers. My dream job is to become a successful software engineer because I have always been into computer systems, but can I fit this job, is the career life something I can manage and what opportunities should I go after when becoming a software engineer. Each time I notice how a program is used I wonder how can I make it become faster or more efficient. When you are using your cell phone or iPad there is usually an update at every month. This is because apple is improving the speed of your applications. A software engineer is sometimes overlooked, but without software engineer’s applications would either crash or would not improve. Although most people may feel looking at a computer all day and trying to fix it is uninteresting, I find it challenging
Certain kinds of procrastination have severely negative consequences if we don 't take care of the tasks now. For example, patients who procrastinate on coming to the doctor for fear of confirming that they really are sick. Many patients wait until something very serious has developed or incapacitated them to go to a doctor, when if they had come earlier, the problem could have been resolved more quickly. Procrastination can even become so serious that it can develop into chronic procrastination. Which is the chronic avoidance of tasks can often be attributed to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as individuals are so caught up in the details that they are unable to accomplish daily responsibilities.
Ever met someone that proclaims that they have the perfect job? They might have the perfect job, well, for them at least. Having many jobs in my life, I have come to realize that one person’s perfect job, may not be perfect for everyone. While one looks for all the desired qualities, characteristics, and aspects of a job, not everyone has the same thought on what those are. There is one perfect job for everyone, but one perfect job, is not for everyone. As life changes, so does our thoughts on what is the perfect job. No matter what job is perfect, I believe perfect jobs have all of these characteristics.
