Assignment resignation

Anyone4wks January 16th, 2023

Hi all,


So do you ever get in a low motivation mode and keep an assignment until the last minute and then stress about is until the day of until you finally stress do it?

And then you read over what you've done and can't tell if it's nonsense or somewhat comprehensive?

But even though you have a few hours before the deadline you're just so done with the assignment that you hand it in anyways and think "What will be, will be"?

But on the inside you feel like you're waisting your and everyone's time and are so deeply dissapointed in yourself that you wanna just crawl in a hole and sleep for the semester and never show your face in the lecture hall ever again?


...


Anyone?

Yes! I’ve actually use to be so good at working ahead and getting assignments done way ahead of time. However, I have noticed myself becoming more of a procrastinator this last semester. It sounds like it’s really taking a toll on you though. Anything that may help you find the motivation again? 💜

Disappointment in self can have two different takes. You can either dwell in the feeling of disappointment, or it can act as a drive to put in more effort the next time. We need to recognize that leaving assignments to the last minute will only create more stress for ourselves. Since we're already stressed with other things, why are we making more stress? This is something we have control over. Why are we making ourselves miserable, when we can choose not to have this additional stress?

I hope you’re feeling good . I’m interested on what you got in the assignment. Maybe talk to professor.

my Guess is that you left the assignment a few hrs before because YOU know you are smart and can get it done. Some people just got it like that.

unfortunately , I’m not one of those persons. Imagine not being smart and still stressing about an assignment when you barely receive it. Having time to work on it , but stress about it all the time. I have that problem because I continuously got negative feedback. I know I’m not smart. But I’m always proud of the the work I’ve put into.

best !
