Many students find that they have perfected the art of procrastinating.
There are many different ways to practice this skill. Studying with the television and the radio blaring is a perfect way to delay work. By doing this, you push yourself to the point where you realize that you can't get it perfect, therefore you must be a failure. This negative thinking will surely weaken your motivation. Some students find that if they tell themselves over and over that they cannot do the work, they begin to believe it.
