This module is helpful to every student who is in college life. And from my perspective, how to beat procrastination is the most useful thing I learned in this module.
The lecture introduced three ways to beat procrastination, and I believe breaking a big task into small pieces is the most efficient and easiest way to beat procrastination. When we face a big task, it’s easy for us to be lazy that the big task will cost us a long time to finish. Especially there are many interesting things that may distract our attention. So, if you break a big and hard assignment into many small tasks, it’s much easier to finish. Short-time work is hard to be distracted, and when the task is finished also motivated you to move on. Besides, strong self-control is also very important. I like the idea of the ultimate goal versus current desire. It’s another way to beat procrastination. When you want to quit or when you are lazy, think about your final rewards. It’s your choice and you should be responsible for your final goal.
One more thing to mention is time tracking techniques. I think everyone should also learn how to track their time. I already use google calendar to track my daily life and I found that it’s really helpful to conclude your schedule and make your time usage more efficient.
