Chapter+14

Do you think the contrast of the two types of perfectionists is accurate? Why or why not? Ellen: Yes because everybody has a different perspective. Carrington: Yes because people have different ways of doing things and how well they want to do things. Grant: Yes because some people have certain methods of conducting themselves, while others have different ones. Noah: Yes because people have different ways of doing things and how well they want to do things. Emily:Yes. We actually learned about his in guidance. Grace Z: Yes. Their are always two ways to look at things.

Do you have any tricks or ways that you find make planning easier for you? Ellen: I usually write my assignments down. Carrington: I like to do the more important stuff first so I know that it's done. I also want to do bigger projects first so it can be over with. Grant: I completely map things out in my head, like I have a calendar that I see. It's weird. Noah: i usually write things as a list and manage my time Emily: I do things in the order that they are do in an assignment folder I have. Grace Z: I keep a divider between work that is done and not done. What is due the next day stays on top while what is due a few days in advance is near the bottom. I do work in chronological order.

How does lack of interest or investment affect procrastination? Ellen: If I don't like the subject, then I am more likely not to want to do it. Carrington: If someone doesn't want to work at something or don't want to do whatever needs to be done, then they will put it off longer. Grant: If you don't even WANT to do it, there is a slim chance that they will end up doing it in time, and maybe at all. Noah: I have don't really find it interesting then it takes me awhile to get started on it, i need to want to do it Emily: If you aren't interested in what you need to do you usually put it off to do. Grace Z: If your not interested, then the amount of effort that you put into something will be much less.

How might choosing to do too much be related to procrastination? Ellen: A lot of work makes me not want to do anything Carrington: Too much stuff means other stuff might not get done, just like if someone puts something off until the last minute. Grant: If you have WAY too much on your plate, you may feel so overwhelmed that you don't do it in time or at all. Noah: if you do too much you end up not doing much at all. Emily: If you have to do too much you may not know where to begin so you can just put it off. Grace Z: If you do to much, than you may waste time trying to figure out what to. So basically you would be procrastinating.

Which of the six ways to manage procrastination do you think works best for you? Explain. Ellen: I agree with carrington because I want to know the amount of time. Carrington: Thinking about how I want to feel in the future works best for me because I will put things off if I know I can work on it better later (if I'm tired) or if I need to get sleep I'll do it later. Grant: I agree with Carrington. I always keep in mind that my mindset now is different from later. Even if I'm a few days older, I have different opinions and motives. Noah: Plan to procrastinate is exactly me because i like plan based off of what it is and when it is due Emily:I think embracing the urge to be perfect is the best that works for me because people tend to make fun of me about my "perfectionist attitude" (*cough* tyler and noah *cough*) so I need to know that is ok. Grace Z: I think that remembering that imperfection is important for creativity works best because not everything is perfect. Plus I COMPLETELY agree with Emily on tyler and noah making fun of her. They are big fat jerks.
