3. Procrastination

Procrastination does seem to have become an epidemic.

So, at that moment many years ago, I also caught up with the epidemic and realized that I had procrastination.

What to do?

You can only figure it out for yourself.

I taught myself two books on procrastination, the Pomodoro Technique and the Hour Technique, and I taught myself to self-manage with a loose-leaf book, and I also used up a loose-leaf book.

Ah, but I'm still procrastinating.

It's time to do the English test, how can you pass the test without doing the test?

However, I don't want to do it.

It's too difficult, I feel suffocating when I think about it, and I don't want to do it at all.

So, although I wanted to learn English well, I just memorized a few hundred words a day.

The listening that should have been listened to was not heard, the spoken language that should have been spoken was not spoken, and the writing that should have been practiced was forgotten after persisting for ten days.

A few months later, I only scored 4.5 in the IELTS test, only reading and writing are OK, and listening and speaking are probably the lowest scores, how can this be, this is really a shame. I've been teased by my friends and family several times, and now I'm blowing myself up at the beginning, and I feel like I'm socially dead.

However, even after such a big setback, I still used memorization to avoid other revisions.

Just memorized the words, watched the English news, and dragged the listening and speaking day by day......

I was still admitted to the school I wanted to go to.

Although, not through IELTS, but through the unified examination organized by the school. IELTS 6.0 is needed for another school that I can't go to, alas.

In the summer of 2019, I started writing novels.

At that moment, I discovered something.

My procrastination seems to have cured itself.

Write thousands of words every day, every day.

The back is getting faster and faster, and 1618000 a day is not a problem.

And the games that used to distract me, chatting, and so on, suddenly seemed to lose their appeal.

Even though I haven't written in a long time, I often have scraps and need to stop and revise in large quantities, but I still concentrate on these things.

Ah, I seemed to have forgotten everything, and everything else in the world became quiet, silent, and only the novel cried out loudly, taking away all my attention.

And just like that, a month, two months passed.

My procrastination, seems to be better?

As a result, after the start of school, I committed it again.

I started to be too lazy to look at the hospital notices again, so I missed some things, and the teaching assistants almost couldn't finish the questions properly.

Finally, after many iterations, I finally realized.

It's not because I have procrastination, it's not that it's cured later.

But...... I really like writing.

Also, if I'm interested in something, I can give my full attention for a whole day and then for months without getting tired.

For example, research writing skills, as well as conducting academic research, writing essays for coursework, etc.

The prerequisite is interest.

English is not interested.

I'm Chinese, I don't like to learn English, isn't that a matter of course!

And then later.

After reading some information, I realized that there is no such thing as procrastination. No one really puts everything off the ground, it's just that they don't really need it, so they just drag it out on its own.

Human habits.

Rethink whether that thing was really necessary for you. If it's really necessary, it won't be delayed.

PS, the author friends in the group drag the manuscript every day, and they can't write it every day, but they are busy with the water group, and I don't know why.

Another troll friend said that 2,000 words a day is the limit, never write more, and would rather be a group of water. I can't understand it either......

My current limit speed is about 2W5 a day.

Still, it's time to write your dissertation. Novels or something, a little bit.
