Getting rid of the bad habit of procrastination (迟延症 ) is now my goal of life. My first
step was to set small targets what can be reached realistically. For example, I plan to set
a timetable for my study. So after school, I will put finishing homework in the last place. Additionally, I will make a list of my important task including their due dates but follow
my schedule strictly. I will avoid find excuses for putting them off. At same time, I
will ask for my friends and parents to help me. By achieving this small targets, I
have confident that I will overcome procrastination.
