BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

  3. Procrastination is putting off important tasks and not doing them immediately. Many people experience procrastination at different times in their lives, which can result in high levels of stress and anxiety. Procrastination can affect productivity, mental health and quality of life.

    To avoid procrastination, it is important to set realistic and specific goals for tasks. Creating a detailed action plan can also help you stay focused and motivated. Other useful strategies include fragmenting tasks into smaller tasks, making time limits, and planning breaks to avoid fatigue and exhaustion.

    The consequences of procrastination can include high levels of stress, anxiety, lower productivity and inferior academic or work performance. Procrastination can also affect mental and emotional health, which can result in feelings of guilt, frustration and low self-esteem. In short, avoiding procrastination can improve quality of life and increase productivity.

  5. Leaving things for later can be a bad habit that affects our productivity and creates unnecessary stress. To avoid this, we can use the simple future tense to make plans. For example, instead of saying "I will do it later," we can say "I will do it at 5 pm today." This way, we have a clear goal and a deadline to work towards. By using the future tense in this way, we can prioritize our tasks and know that we are using our time effectively. Remember, a little bit of planning can go a long way in achieving our goals!

  6. Procrastination is the postponement of fulfilling an obligation or performing an action. When the attitude becomes habitual, procrastination becomes a behavioural disorder that may require psychological attention.
    In the case of a child, procrastination may appear when he or she chooses to stay in front of the computer or television instead of finishing homework, adults may develop it when they delay a doctor's visit or when they never decide to tidy up the house, to cite one possibility.
    This has several benefits, such as
    -Reducing the level of stress and anxiety
    -Making the day more manageable
    -Not exhausting yourself
    -Gaining confidence
