Microfiction: Procrastination
Procrastination
100 word story:
While she tries her best to stay focused, there are just too many things to be distracted by. She starts an essay but then finds herself on a new tab online shopping. Or her data analytics assignment will be due within a few hours, but there will be the more pressing matter of coordinating a time to hang out with friends. The other day, she wasted hours trying to find something cute to wear instead of working on her final project for her mythology class. But sometimes, time pressure can enhance one's work. At least, that's what she tells herself.
Haiku:
Haikus can be short
They're great if you're too lazy
See, this one was quick
Author's Note: The final weeks of the semester are upon us which means that procrastinators, like myself, are feeling the overwhelming stress of having to catch up in most of their classes. I'm always so impressed (and a little angry) at people who have the ability to manage their time in a more efficient way and don't have too many things on their plate at the end of the semester. Because I am definitely not one of those people. I like to think I have improved greatly over the past couple of years, but then dead week rolls around and I realize how much time I wasted beforehand and then scramble to finish projects and study for tests.
Hello Deepa
ReplyDeleteI am here for this microfiction! I am so guilty of procrastination. It is something I have struggled with for as long as I can remember. I get distracted, go find something to eat, play a game on my phone, play with my dog, check social media, etc. Then I get mad at myself for being behind. It is a vicious cycle.
Hi Deepa,
ReplyDeleteI love how you decided to do your microfiction! Especially with haikus! I used to have a melody I would sing to tell whether a poem was a haiku or not based on the rhythm!I think you are doing a great job and keep up the good work! You are killing it and good luck on finals!
