Post 2: Procrastination

 

The rhetorical situation in Doc 1 that I chose was procrastination, and as the writer I am trying to convey to you the reader why procrastination needs to be fixed. The resource I used was gemini to help give me an overview of my topic. I am creating this 800 word essay to learn ways to more effectively reduce or completely halt any procrastination I have which will in return allow me to get work in on time especially since I already am starting off behind. My doc 1 starts off with reasons as to why most people procrastinate. Five reasons mentioned were fear of failure, lack of motivation, overwhelmed, poor time management, and perfectionism. These are very common factors which in talking about allowed me to write strategies to help fix these problems. One way was to break down tasks because it makes the overall task easier to look at and start chipping away. One way to overcome procrastination as show by Sarah is to create planners and a timeline to complete the work. She also set up a study space and used the pomodoro technique. Setting up the space and utilizing the pomodoro technique actually works. I have a friend named Lawson who uses those two techniques to get most of his work done. Overall, there are many ways to help people with procrastination it is just a matter of finding what works best for you and sticking with it.
