- While reading this article, I paused at least 4-5 times because it was boring. I tried writing about it but nothing inspired me to write about it, so that’s when I took a step back for a few minutes and realized I could write about how much I hate it. I find it boring, childish, and useless. Every article that writes about how to overcome procrastination is redundant and I have already read many of them. I looked over 3 different articles and all 3 of them said the same thing but in different ways, everything felt repetitive they said to confess that you do actually procrastinate, find facts on why you procrastinate, and “ask” if procrastination is really that bad. I decided to write about “So You Want to Write an Article on Procrastination …” because at the end of it, the author wrote “Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.” I disagree with this statement because a lot of people who procrastinate, get frustrated with themself and start to avoid the task, yes you can work with procrastination but it is not “Easy peasy, lemon squeezy”. Even though The author wanted to show that procrastination can be easy to overcome with the right mindset and tools.I understand that the author’s intention was to portray procrastination as something that can be easily overcome with the right mindset and tools. However, it’s important to acknowledge that for many people, overcoming procrastination is not always as simple as it may seem. It can be a complex and challenging process that requires self-awareness and effective strategies. We all have different experiences and perspectives when it comes to procrastination.

Homework d.1
Category: Difficulty Paper
Part 1
Continue work on your Unit 1 assignment! No post necessary for this part of the homework assignment.
Remember, the Unit 1 assignment is not officially due until October 3rd (10/3) by the start of class, but you will probably want to get your narratives in pretty good shape before we start the next mini-unit.
When you’re ready to submit your Unit 1 assignments, go to the Google Drive tab on the Openlab menu bar, and select Unit 1 Assignment Submission Folder. I’ll remind you of how to submit over the next couple of weeks as well.
Part 2
READ and ANNOTATE: “Later” (in the Later Library on the Procrastination Station– www.yourprocrastinationstation.com).
WRITE: After reading and annotating “Later,” write an Open Lab post of approximately 300 words in which you reflect upon the article. What, particularly, did you find confusing, irritating, boring or otherwise difficult?
Please note: I want you to BE SPECIFIC. Quote from the text directly. That is, if you were particularly dumbfounded by a particular passage—quote that passage, and explain WHY you found it confusing. If the vocabulary was difficult, quote a particularly difficult passage, and try to figure out what the author might have been trying to say. Explain WHY you found their particular word choices difficult. Dig deeply!
My point in asking you to do this is that usually the places you struggle the most are the places you are doing your best thinking. I want you to stay there a while, even if it’s to explain to me why you don’t understand!
