Vacation is coming to an end. How many of you haveburned the midnight oilto finish your homework over the last few days? What about during the school year-when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away?
It can be hard to be this responsible. A lot of people usually put off difficult or annoying tasks until they have to be done. They're called procrastinators.
Procrastination is a common problem for many people, in fact. Sometimes it just feels easier to wait until the last minute to do certain things. However, this is not a good thing, as you have to work harder and faster if you wait until there is little time left. This means your work will probably be of less quality.
I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather than later. It just makes more sense-if I finish my work now, I'll have more time to relax or work on other projects later. It can be hard to motivate (激励) myself to get started sometimes. But once I do, the work gets done quickly and with little stress.
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. It's a natural thing to do. You don't have to beat yourself up over it-after all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!
