NOW? OR lATER?

In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens , the third of these seven habits is "Putting First Things First." In this chapter, the author Sean Covey divides the different ways people spend their time into four different quadrants. These four quadrants are the Procrastinator (1), the Prioritizer (2), the Yes-Man (3), and the Slacker (4).

Before reading this, I already knew that I am a procrastinator. But, until now, I never realized how bad it really was. I do what a lot of teens do...I slack off for most of the semester, and at the end, right before grades come out, stress myself out trying to make up for it. I have learned that this will only hurt me in the long run. I have decided to stop procrastinating, stop being lazy, and start putting my all into everything that I do

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the positive change that this decision is going to present in my life..
