EY Y01 L17 Procrastination


  1. We have many chores and tasks that we don't like but need to do every week or every day. Name one. Have you finished that task today/this week? If yes, how was it? Why? If no, why did you delay?
  2. What for you is the worst regular daily, weekly, monthly or yearly task you are forced by your family or work to do? Why do you hate it so much?
  3. When you have something you need to do but can't muster the energy, how do you usually or often procrastinate?
  4. What day of the week is it today? What is the date? When were you originally planning to do this homework? Are you finishing it later than you expected to be finishing it? Why?
  5. Tell me about a time when being late for something or missing a deadline has caused you undue stress and regret.
  6. The opposite of "procrastination" is "being proactive". This means to deal with things early, either before they become necessary or before they become a problem. Tell me about one thing you are always "proactive" about?

Question 1

One of my twice a day chores is cleaning my pugs wrinkles. You have to clean them thoroughly or he may get an infection. I do not like to do it as it is a little smelly, and he does not like to have it done.

Question 2

Every week or so my wife makes me clean the toilet as I am the who stands up to pee. I am not messy (like some other men) but I still do not like to clean the toilet.

Question 3

I listen to music to get motivated to do my chores. Usually heavy metal.

Question 4

Today is Tuesday 6th August, right now I am doing my homework right on time, as I planned.

Question 5

I usually get stressed if I am late regardless of the situation so as a result I am rarely late to anything. I cannot think of a time when I was late.

Question 6

I try to be proactive with money and plan ahead. Especially with paying bills.
