The first article I had read was Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination. Rereading it was such a great reminder that I can't give into procrastination even if it is my last semester and I seem to be losing motivation by the moment. I was reminded that the first step may often be the hardest, but it is the most important. Often it's just a matter of closing Netflix and opening Canvas.
The other article, Why time management is ruining our lives, is what I had hoped to read again, and it was so amazing to look at a second time. I kept coming back to this quote which is cited in the article: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." As I am trying to make all of these decisions about my future and life after graduation, I have to decide what are my goals in life. What's important to me? What is the point of goals if I am not passionate about them? I have to spend time wisely or it is wasted. And doing something for the sake of doing it because I was taught to do it is not worthy of my time.
Hi Jill! I definitely agree with your sentiment that the first step is really critical in getting stuff done. After that, everything often just falls into place. I think it applies to everything, really. The concept makes me think of Newton's Law of Inertia: "An object in motion stays in motion". I also agree with focusing more on the long term goals instead of just doing the daily grind.
