We are busy or free?

I begin to think about how to allocate time in a reasonable way. Recently, I read a blog about time. It is strange when we have a lot of tasks to do, we can do many things in a time. However, when we are free, we can find many tasks will pile up until the deadline is coming. Why does it happen in this way. What about your opinion?

Exactly. It is something about human nature--laziness. Last year, my teacher asked me whether I will study hard when the teacher is not so strict. My answer is not. Then, he told me that no one is born to be diligent, therefore, we need to overcome laziness so that we will not waste the precious time to do meaningless things.

For me, at least, it is a question of focus. I am easily distracted so when I have a lot to do I make a list at the beginning of the day. If I feel really determined I write down the time at which each job should be finished and the next one begun. It is amazing at how much I achieve on these days. The problem is that the next day I am so tired that I do almost nothing at all! It must be a question of balance, shorter lists written more often would probably be more effective in my case.

Sometimes I cannot finish my tasks in time just because I forget them. I think it does not a good habit, so I begin to write my tasks on a board so that it can remind me of those tasks constantly. You must do well in focusing your tasks and finish them in time. It is a good idea to make a list, although we may be tired after finishing them. What's more, you have found a more effective method. Overall, thank you for sharing your wonderful way to deal with this problem.:)

Technically, when we are more busy, our brains know that we are running out of time to complete the tasks at hand. This excites the nerves and allows us multi-task. But when we are idle or with much lesser work load, we start to believe that there is ample time to complete the tasks at hand... and the fact is that we humans are Lazy by nature...

Yes, you are right. My teacher always tells me that we should do our utmost to pay attention to our study, because we are born lazy. Indeed, when I have a holiday, I will forget my tasks totally until we have to hand them in. What a pity:( However, there are a lot of people recognize this nature and try to overcome it, and what we should do is to respect the schedule.

I always complain that I don't have enough time to do what I want! When we are free.we always want to surf on the internet and then finish our task. When we have much work, we have much pressure and afraid that we can't finish it,so we begin quickly.I think you need to develop the habit of finishing your task firstly.

Yes, you are right. When we have enough time, we will think it won't be late although we play games or surf the Internet at first. However, if we feel like this, we will finish tasks just a little bit ahead of the deadline. So, we will wast ,a lot of precious time.If we have a sense of pressure, we will place those tasks in the first place so that we can finish them in time.

I also cannot get a correct answer. It will be wonderful to stay with family and friends. Your girlfriend is so lucky because you will try your best to stay with her, although you may have a lot of things reminded to be finished:)
