Get it done now, not later
Josh Tate
Josh Tate

Well, it's Thursday evening again, and I've just started my article for this week. Most people I know tend to have an attitude of procrastination of "I'll do it later".

At the moment I really can't be bothered to revise, but if I don't I'll kind of run into trouble.

Also, if there's anyone out there who has put off coursework until this point, it might be a little late to fix.

The problem is that most people seem to think that either their problems will disappear if they leave them, or else they can solve these problems at another time, one that's more convenient.

I learned the hard way, in terms of coursework, that putting it off is not a solution. It caused more trouble, not only for me, but also for the teachers who also have deadlines to meet.

Eventually, of course, I had to just get on and do it, but I could have saved so many people (myself included) so much time and hassle, had I just got it done when I was supposed to.

As a consequence of leaving some of my work so late, I have a harder job in exams, because I need to get a higher mark to compensate for coursework grades.

The point is, putting things off won't make them go away.

A word to the wise: Don't make my mistake. Get the work done when you're supposed to. It'll make your life easier in the long run.
