Late...late...

I'm serious- procrastination is a deadly epidemic in the college world (being in graduate work does not make any of us exempt from catching this contagious virus). But honestly, being in this credential program, I really have to be on top of things. Its not easy, I'm just keeping the end in mind. Anyway, I wish there was an instant cure for procrastination, but according to another article I read, a habit that was developed throughout the years can't be wiped out overnight by some magical potion. Here's the main thing the author said:

Remember that as you go through this process, you must constantly challenge your cognitive distortions and irrational fears:

• It is not hopeless (few situations are truly hopeless)
• It is not too late (there is always time if you start now)
• You are smart enough (or you wouldn't have made it this far)
• You can't do it later (as you'll just keep putting "later" off until later)
• You will not perform better under pressure (the best work is done when it is well thought-out)
