Class engagements
Greetings,
Foremost, until this juncture, I attest to positive emolument through my writing process. Succinctly, through these class engagements since week one to date have impacted significantly to the development of my final term paper. Back then I made recognizable mistakes through my previous writings, however, through various help initiatives from my peers and Professor I have come to a realization of many facets as well as impediments needed towards the nourishment of my writing skills. Surprisingly, since we began these class engagements, I have always maintained confidence in my delivered writings; it is until I read Ferraris’ article on Procrastination that I realized I had fallen victim along with its facets. According to Ferrari (2018) “20% of normal, healthy adult men and women are classified as chronic
procrastinators, namely individuals who engage in a needless delay of relevant and timely tasks across situations and settings on everyday life events” (para, 10)
Consequently, as mentioned earlier I purpose to avoid “general procrastination” in the remaining half of our class engagements; through deploying effective “time management techniques” and implementation of crucial “strategies and ideas.” Likewise, all has not been lost as I have- for the better half of my final term paper engagements experienced and developed each aspect about our “College Writing Handbook” essentials. More to it, I have successfully conducted what is needed appertaining my argumentation, this way, I purpose to use the “SQ3R” tool in a bid to avoid procrastination of any levels of “low self-confidence and self-esteem, depression, neurosis, social anxiety, forgetfulness, disorganization, lack of competitiveness, dysfunctional impulsivity, behavioral rigidity and lack of energy” (Ferrari, 2018)
To wrap it all, my deductions for this weeks discussion is the need for time management tools- in this case; I have decided to implement “MyLifeOrganized, Toggl and Trello” applications as presented in the readings. Finally, I recommend this tools to my peers to leverage against generalized procrastination underscored earlier in different levels, because ” external attributes or excuses for delays and poor performance lead to environmental stress or heightened arousal at task deadlines” (Ferrari, 2018)
