got this via this blog, when i was blog hopping.
Procrastination
Procrastination is the avoidance and delaying of doing a task which needs to be done. This commonly involves feelings of guilt, inadequacy, self-disgust, stress and depression. In the long run, a person who procrastinates tends to be an underachiever who lacks confidence and self-esteem.
When faced with a daunting task, we sometimes try to disguise our avoidance of the task by keeping ourselves busy working at other tasks that simply do not contribute towards the main goal or important goal.
Why do people procrastinate?
Reasons vary but frequently, people procrastinate because they feel overwhelmed by the task at hand; sometimes, this might be due to their own perfectionist tendencies and unrealistic expectations. People who procrastinate spend time worrying about the task rather than actually working at it.
For some others, procrastination results from their inability to prioritise, difficulty in concentrating on a task or simply knowing they will be bored by the task. Others procrastinate because they are unsure of what the expected end result is.
To overcome procrastination:
* Make a list of everything that you have to do.
* Eliminate unimportant tasks.
* Rank the remaining ones in order of urgency/importance.
* Make your tasks meaningful (e.g. try to evaluate the importance of the task by considering the ways it affects your life or those around you).
* Consult others to find out more about what is expected of the task.
* Begin tackling the more urgent/important tasks first.
* Set realistic goals for yourself.
* Promise yourself a reward if your goal is achieved.

some "updates" (in no order of importance)...
#1: mediacorp finally did something right - inviting patty hou (the beautiful jay chou's girlfriend) to host the star awards, together with guo liang. of cos, the best part is, i still get to watch the show, 5 days before i enlist.
#2: 'A' levels are going to be over soon. just one main paper left which is the chem mcq. yay? i'll save that when i get my results, hopefully.
#3: apparently, the booking engine of golden village's website is down, which i think must be due to the vast number of people going online at the same time to book tickets for harry potter. then i used my handphone's GPRS to check... the 8 and 9.25 pm timeslots were sold out, and the 10.25 pm were selling fast. warning: this show is 157 min long... normal for a harry potter movie of cos. and for the first time, the omnimax theatre of the science centre will be showing the imax version of it for six months, starting from now.
#4: two new terms i came across about exams - being 'owned' by it when u think it is difficult, and dun want to "da bao" an exam. not so sure about the latter though...

there are just 29 days left to the start of my National Service/conscription (to sound GP-ish)/participation in military defence (total political correctness).
yes, i failed my napfa. so i would be in early. very sad case. sigh.
translating the above to sound GP-ish:
I would be entering the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) prematurely due to my failure to pass NAPFA, a fitness proficiency test. It is a cause for sorrow and despair that leads me to sigh at this predicament.
yes, it's my GP exam tomorrow. i just received a "happy christmas" card from my GP teacher Ms Kwan. it is square-shaped and it came in a red envelope. her name card was also attached, which i really dunno why, cos i have her handphone no. already. the name card is professional looking and nice though, and i had a first look at her credentials. 2 bachelor degrees from the US and one masters from NUS. wow.
although christmas is more than a month away, it's pleasant to know that Ms Kwan actually bothers preparing a card, writing a personal message, wishing you good luck, finding your address, writing it on an envelope and sending it to you. she teaches at least 3 classes, so she did that for at least 60 people. she's smart enough to send the cards through school though, so she didn't have to affix a stamp. (omg i actually notice this.)
she said she thinks i'm capable of scoring and i just need to keep in mind my time management. AH. an element of stress added. = i wouldn't like to disappoint her though.
i have already disappointed myself in my chinese A paper. as for the maths and chem papers, let's face it: A LEVEL IS NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS ANYMORE.
argh. i dun like exams.

| Your Birthdate: September 28 |
 You have a Type A personality so big it makes other Type A's shrink away in shame. You never shy away from adversity - and you love to tackle impossible problems. Failure is not an option for you, and more than a few people are put off by your ego. You tend to be controlling, and you hate leaving anything up to chance. Your strength: Your bold approach to life Your weakness: You don't accept help Your power color: Bronze Your power symbol: Pyramid Your power month: October |
Argh, why isn't the power month November?! Don't be surprised i carry a glass pyramid everywhere i go now. =P
