Every week, Saturday rolls around and I realise that it’s a new Chapter on the OU Course and I still haven’t finished the activities from the previous week.
So I rush through them at the weekend and make a start on the current activities. Then, during the weekdays, life gets in the way again and the weekend rolls around and the same thing happens all over again.
I know this is probably because I’ve had a busy time recently, but I hope to get on top of this soon, as I’m obviously not getting the most out of the course if I’m constantly rushing through the main body of the work. I think the main solution for me is to do more writing after work in the evenings.
Is anyone else having a similar experience?
I’m exactly the same, but for me, it’s down purely to procrastination, not that I’m mega busy. I will get on with it this afternoon. Maybe choose a time each day you’ll study for an hour, and stick to it?
Cathy: that’s a good idea but I honestly think it’s just because I have had busy evenings over the past few weeks. I think I’ve found that devoting a few hours on a weekend isn’t enough, so perhaps I’ll just have to stop going to the pub! 🙂
