Fighting Procrastination Week: What is the perfect learning environment?
by CatHanderOutNoah
Last post

...See more Happy Procrastination Week everyone! Today, let's dive into the quest for the perfect learning environment to conquer procrastination! We all know that where we learn plays a big role in how effectively we absorb information. So, let's explore some different learning environments and weigh their pros and cons. ------------------------- Traditional Classroom: Ah, the classic setting! Think desks in rows, a whiteboard up front, and maybe a clock ticking away the minutes. * * Pros: Structured environment, access to teachers for immediate help, interaction with classmates. * Cons: Limited flexibility, potential for distractions, may not suit all learning styles. * * Home Sweet Home: Your cozy abode can double as a learning haven. * Pros: Comfortable and familiar surroundings, flexibility in scheduling, fewer external distractions (if you can resist the urge to nap!). * Cons: Temptation to procrastinate (hello, Netflix!), potential for interruptions from family members or household chores. * * Coffee Shop Vibes: The aroma of coffee and the buzz of conversations can be surprisingly conducive to learning. * Pros: Ambient noise can boost creativity, change of scenery can refresh your mind, access to caffeine for a little brain boost. * Cons: Can be noisy and distracting, may feel pressure to purchase items, limited access to resources like printers or textbooks. * * Library Oasis: A quiet sanctuary filled with knowledge. * Pros: Peaceful atmosphere, access to vast resources, designated study areas. * Cons: Strict rules about noise and behavior, limited social interaction, may feel too isolating for some. * * Outdoor Adventures: Nature as your classroom. * Pros: Fresh air and natural light can improve focus, opportunities for hands-on learning, freedom to move around. * Cons: Weather-dependent, potential for distractions (squirrels!), limited access to technology. * * Online Wonderland: Learning from the comfort of your digital domain. * Pros: Flexibility in scheduling, access to a wide range of resources and experts, opportunities for self-paced learning. * Cons: Potential for technical difficulties, lack of face-to-face interaction, requires strong self-discipline to avoid procrastination. * * On-the-Go Learning: From the bus to the gym, learning can happen anywhere. * Pros: Maximizes time efficiency, turns mundane activities into productive learning opportunities, fosters adaptability. * Cons: Potential for distractions in busy environments, limited access to materials, may not be suitable for deep concentration. ------------------------- * * So, what's the perfect learning environment? Well, it depends on your personal preferences, learning style, and the task at hand. Experiment with different settings to find what works best for you, and don't be afraid to mix it up! After all, the journey to defeating procrastination is all about finding what motivates and inspires you. My question for you is, which one of these do you feel best would help you? (and for 🍪 points, why?) and which one would help the worse? * * Thanks everyone, Noah. Happy cupsing!

The power of setting goals
by FaithfulZareia
Last post
17 hours ago

...See more Hello, wonderful student support community! This week we have been talking about procrastination. One way I have found helpful is through goal setting and accountability.  A popular goal setting strategy SMART goals, which break down goals into manageable, motivating, and measurable steps.  What are SMART Goals? SMART goals are: * Specific: Clearly define what you want to accomplish. * Measurable: Identify how you will know when you’ve reached your goal. * Achievable: Ensure the goal is attainable with your current resources and constraints. * Relevant: Make sure the goal matters to you and aligns with your other objectives. * Time-bound: Set a deadline to keep yourself accountable. Why SMART Goals? SMART goals are important to have clear action plans. By specifying exactly what you’re aiming for and how to measure success, you are clarifying your path and increasing motivation. The framework ensures your goals are within reach and relevant to your bigger picture, making procrastination less tempting. Activity: Setting Your Own SMART Goal Let's put this into practice! Think of a project or task you’ve been procrastinating on. Think about the self care that you have been neglecting, or a relationship you would like to improve on. It can be anything! Here’s a simple structure to help you get started: * Specific: I want to complete [task/project]. * Measurable: I will know I have achieved this when [specific outcome]. * Achievable: I will achieve this by doing [actions/resources]. * Relevant: This is important because [reason/goal alignment]. * Time-bound: I will accomplish this by [deadline]. Accountability with Goals Now that you’ve drafted a SMART goal, share it with us!  Post your goal in the comments below. Sharing increases your commitment, and here you’ll also receive support and encouragement from this amazing community. Accountability is an awesome way to fight procrastination. Plus, I bet your goal will inspire others to tackle their procrastination too!

Tips to avoid procrastination

...See more Hey everyone, Happy fighting procrastination week! Sometimes we find ourselves putting off certain tasks and we get stuck, sometimes really stuck. It can be quite challenging finding a way out of that stuck if we don't know any strategies or ways out. Don't worry we are going to talk about some simple steps we can take to fight procrastination.  Procrastination is a complex issue that doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution, but there are strategies that can help us manage and overcome the urge to procrastinate. Everyone is going to have different things that work for them. Feel free to read through these strategies and join in on the discussion at the end! Understanding Why Take a few moments for self reflection and explore the reasons behind your procrastination. Are you afraid of failure? Is the task too overwhelming? Understanding the main cause can help you address what's causing you to procrastinate or at least make you aware. Breaking It Down Large tasks can seem daunting and like a huge mountain to climb. Break them into smaller and more manageable pieces. This makes the work seem more achievable and less overwhelming. Setting Clear Goals Define what you want to accomplish with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Clear goals can provide easy steps and make it easier to start. Using Time Management Techniques Techniques like the Pomodoro Technique (working for 25 minutes, followed by a 5-minute break) can help maintain focus and ensure regular breaks to keep your mind fresh. Making To-Do lists Creating daily or weekly todo lists can help visually see what needs to get accomplished, and make them seem a bit more manageable.  Eliminating Distractions What distracts you? It might be cups, or social media or your friends. Take steps to minimize these distractions. This may mean using website blockers or setting your phone to "Do Not Disturb" mode during work times. Just Starting Often, the hardest part is starting. Commit to working on a task for just 5 minutes. Once you've made a start, momentum can carry you forward. Rewarding Yourself Set up a reward system for completing tasks or milestones. This could be something small, like a coffee break, or something larger for bigger achievements. Accountability and Support Share your goals with a friend, family member, or cups. They can offer encouragement, hold you accountable, or even work alongside you. It's okie to ask for help. Some schools even offer tutors or support meetings. Being gentle with yourself Be kind to yourself if you procrastinate. Self-criticism can lead to a cycle of continued procrastination. Recognize the slip-up, learn from it, and carry on. You are doing your best and im proud of you for that Join us with a discussion! Questions: Have you tried any of these strategies?  Do you have any other tips that have helped you overcome procrastination? A message you want to share to someone that's struggling with procrastination? Let's share our stories and support each other in reducing procrastination. Looking forward to your responses and insights.

Putting Things Off
by Enthenia
Last post

...See more "A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do." -Bill Watterson (Creator of the comic Calvin and Hobbes) There are many reasons why we avoid doing things. Oftentimes, it's because the task is unpleasant, boring, etc. Then there's the sense of insecurity, the feeling that we may not be capable of doing whatever it is we're supposed to be doing or the task is too great. If a task seems insurmountable and your feel like you are an ant staring up at a sixty-story building, then instead of putting it off until later when you may not feel like doing whatever it is, perhaps break the task down into smaller components.  If you are putting things off because you have so many other things to do and it's not exactly a deliberate means of procrastinating, put priorities on things. There is no possible way that the twenty things that have to be done has an equal level of priority. Taking time to prepare and organize may not be an enjoyable pastime but a little organization may make the tasks seem less daunting. You could solicit assistance in this endeavor. However, you must make sure that your focus is not diverted by your assistant. Focus is important and lack of focus is one thing that leads to distractions and putting things off.  There is no best method to remedy this. There might have to be a trial-and-error period to find out what works well for the person attempting to overcome procrastination. Perhaps, to aid in the completion of your tasks, goals, assignments, etc. set up a challenge and a reward. Having something to look forward to will lessen the desire to put things off. It doesn't have to be anything large; it could be a dessert from a favorite restaurant, or a short excursion, clothes, or even a movie or a show. It could even be a book or some music.  Personally, I do not like to put things off because I know things will have to be done and I'd rather not be overburdened. But I do have many things going on all at the same time and I do forget things. This is where a list or prioritizing things could come in handy. At home, things are not a high priority but there are things that I have to keep up on like cleaning and feeding the pets because I'm the only one who can do it. At work, I am constantly bombarded by tasks and supervisors who feel that each task is the most important and has to be done right away. This environment makes me want to put things off, but I know I can't. If I do, it just makes things even more stressful for me.

About imperfect perfection.

...See more Hello everyone.  Hope you all doing great. I wanted to ask you guys about how you deal with the feeling of being perfect in your study. Like for the moment I have to write research and it has been a month and I'm still unable to finish it, whenever I write something I end up erasing it because I feel it's not enough and it's good to get the full mark... So how can I avoid this feeling and make some progress? It's always like: I want to do something special and good to deserve my grades, but I don't like what I'm doing, even if someone told me it's good I still feel it's not enough at all. I'll appreciate your answers and advice, thanks for reading this, and have a great day.🌻

...See more Happy Pi day everyone!🎉🥧 Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) every year and celebrates π pi, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and its decimal representation is non-repeating and infinite. Pi appears in formulas involving circles, spheres, and other geometrical shapes, as well as in various branches of physics, engineering, science, and beyond. This day is celebrated by math lovers and students as well as by people who really love pie. Grab a slice of pie and join us in a pi activity, Activity! 3.14 3 ~ three things you are grateful for ☀️ 1 ~ your one favorite (or least favorite) thing about math➗ 4 ~ The four best kinds of pies 🥧 *shares some pie with everyone 🥧🍕*
