I would tell myself that I will finish my work after going out with my friends. I would come home very tired and tell myself I'll finish it the next morning. Underestimating the amount of time it would take to complete a task was something I regretted after looking at the clock and seeing that it's 2 in the morning. For some courses, I did not take notes in class because I believed that reading the information in the textbook was sufficient. I recently realized that if I took notes in class, I would be more engaged and interested in the material I am learning, as I would be processing it in my mind as I write. In the future, before making any decisions that affect my academic success, I will reevaluate my priorities and discuss my choices. Setting goals, like having a dream board, will inspire me to overcome any barriers I may face. Setting a certain amount of time to dedicate to a task and finishing it early will give me the opportunity to reward myself and feel appreciated. I will prevent negative thoughts from taking over my mind by thinking of another helpful thought to develop a positive and confident mind that seeks results. I will remind myself that procrastinating will only lead to me having a frown on my face when I get the results at the end of the semester. I will break down tasks into small chunks that will make the workload seem like it
