I mean procrastinating...
I'm in the midst of exams yesterday, I did everything else that I could do without having to study for exams until 4pm. It was so stupid! Then I studied for the rest of the day until 2am and was up at 5am. I do quite well on three hours of sleep. I have another exam on Tuesday, how do I stop myself from procrastinating?
This has to do with the self fulfilliing prophecy for me. I have low expectations for myself, because sometimes, I have difficulty with memory and because I believe that I won't be able to remember it's difficult for me to get started so I procrastinate more to the point where it just makes things worse.
So maybe I just have to get rid of this negative thought that I won't remember and think to myself that I can remember if I just go through the material and study things instead of procrastinating and focusing on the fact that I won't be able to remember. Taking action should do the trick.
