How to avoid procrastination? Procrastination is a very common problem for a lot of people. Personally, I have many bad episodes connected with it. And even right now I’m losing a fight with my laziness. Therefore I want to share my problems, and maybe someone would give me good advice on how to deal with it. I started to learn English almost a year ago, so I’ve already come quite a long way. But, unfortunately, my motivation is at the bottom level right now. My first 3 or 4 month were exceptionally good and I made a huge step in learning the language. Subsequently, I won a scholarship for computer courses which required a lot of free time. My progress in English reduced drastically, because I simply devoted less time to it. During that period of time, I planned to start serious IELTS preparation as soon as my courses would finish. The truth is that the courses finished 2 weeks ago, but I haven’t done any single thing from my plan. First of all, I thought that courses and English exhausted me and I need a rest. As time passed, I finally understood that it is not the case. I’m stuck in a well-known procrastination loop that should be broken. Everyday I have been thinking about starting my preparation journey the next day. And the reason for writing this essay is mostly to show myself how deep the problem is. Well... practising linking words is the second one =) Anyway, I want to pledge that I will start my preparation tomorrow! And I want everyone to scorn me if I break my promise! Have a nice weekend, friends!
