When looking for advice on studying for a test, you’ll
often come across the advice of “don’t procrastinate.”
Studying consistently is considered to be better than
cramming the night before. This is a wrong and foolish idea.
Procrastination is one of the most effective ways to manage your
time. There are no negative consequences, aside from some
uninformed people acting as if it is somehow wrong.
Take a hypothetical situation where a girl named Bethatine was
given an assignment for her AP French History class. It requires
her to travel to Paris, take a video of the Eiffel Tower, and write a
ten-page essay. She has thirty days to complete the assignment.
On one hand, she could take the initiative, research, write part of
the essay and depart to France. In this manner, she could complete
the project by spreading the use of time over a more significant
period. This is the most ineffective method. Instead, Bethatine
should not consider the existence of the assignment for twenty eight
days. On the second to last day, before the due date, she
should simply invent teleportation, write the essay, and record the
video in France. This is very easy to do and could result in
absolutely no stress at the end of an assignment.
The critical thing to note when using the complex technique
known as procrastination is that the future will never happen. If
the assignment is due on the 28th, the 28th is too far away to
happen. Today is the 27th, not the 28th. It can, therefore, never
be the 28th. Since time isn’t real, procrastination is the only
effective way to complete a project.
All these are effective ways to procrastinate and successfully get
through high school without stress or damage to one’s mental
health. That’s all I have to say since this article is due in a few
hours.
