Your thought on the talk: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

1. Do you procrastinate sometimes?

 I think I sometimes procrastinate when I feel anxious about a task that I need to handle.

2. What are some of the things you procrastinate on?

•    Doing something difficult
•    Repeatedly putting off a homework assignment until the night before it’s due.

3. What are strategies you can use to combat procrastination?

To successfully deal with our procrastination, we need to figure out why we procrastinate and how our procrastination is preventing us from achieving our goals, so I think we can formulate a concrete plan of action, based on appropriate anti-procrastination techniques, that will help us deal with our reason for procrastination.

 Hi, I want to tell you a little about myself.

 My name is Gigi Lee. 

I graduated from National Taichung University of Science and Technology. And international business was my former major. I'm now in my last year of university majoring in finance. 

Franking speaking, I'm a hard-working person especially when I make up my mind to do something. And I will put my heart on it to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. I think it is very important, and I value it as the key of success. Besides, I'm a person with great perseverance. I'm also friendly to those who want to make friend with me.

Not only am I like the place with mountains, rivers, and fresh air, I am also inclined towards outdoors activities such as climbing, bike riding, etc. 

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with friends and trying new cuisines. I also enjoy watching movies, listening to classical music, reading, going on trips and chatting with my friends for everything such as hot news.
