FE Special | Sunday, 20 July 2008
Procrastination is delaying any task which can be done now or today, another meaning is taking longer time to complete a task than is required. As is described in Wikipedia-procrastination is'deferment of actions or tasks to a later time'.
It is harmful during any stage of our life. The habit of keeping things for a later time affects much -it puts a students in multiple trouble situations.
Sumon is a student of honours class in a college in Dhaka. 'Principles of Accounting' is a subject which he is afraid of. He has been irregular in these classes throughout the whole semester. Now that the exam is just one month near, he has become serious about this subject. But he is often tensed and suffers from anxiety about the completion of the subject. His procrastination makes him suffer before the exam.
Students often have fear in mind about some specific lessons or courses. 'English is difficult' or 'I am very weak in mathematics' this type of attitude is very harmful for them. You should not be afraid of any subject. In reality, no chapter or book should be difficult for you, thing is your approach to study them may not be right. So, approach and attitude about any particular course or lesson should be positive. You need to be courageous about any lesson or subject. After all, all theses lessons or subjects were introduced by humans like you. Why will they remain difficult and unconquerable for you?
Students often dislike some subjects. Such attitude like 'I just don't like biology' is also very detrimental. This causes procrastination. In order to succeed, students should never dislike a subject. They should like and enjoy every subject they are obliged to study. If they really lack interest in any particular subject, they should pretend like they have started liking and enjoying the subject. This will help.
Procrastination must be avoided during student life, students should act in a pro-active manner. Only in this way it will be possible to score good results and succeed in studies.
