Winnie's Blog(2021)

1. Do you procrastinate sometimes? Yes, I do procrastinate sometimes. Because sometimes Instant Gratification Monkey just being more attractive than Rational Decision-Maker.  2. What are some of the things you procrastinate on? I usually procrastinate on studies because studying is always a long progress, and I'll want to give myself a break, but the break always being way too long, or even longer than the study time.  I'll also procrastinate on my school work till the deadline, like the English homework which I'm working on right now. Cuz there're always other things that need to be done on the same days, with the Instant Gratification Money bothering, the things that should be done on that day start delaying till the deadline.       3. What are strategies you can use to combat procrastination? I'll schedule what I should finish every day, so I'll have my panic monster every night to ask myself to finish the work that should be done that day.

Hi, this is Winnie from NTUB Finance.  As a born risk-taker and snooper, I like to keep trying new things and challenging myself. Therefore, I've been to the US by myself as an exchange student for a year, which was my dream, and was amazing. I was planning on going back to the US for visiting my host family last summer, but COVID 19 screwed my trip😭. Now I'm praying that this year everything can go as planned as well. Most the time, people think I'm cold for the first impression. But as you get to know me better, I'll know that I'm very outgoing, and humorous most the time😂. I like to dance, travel, and watch some movies in my free time. If you also love doing this, we should be friend 😏. At the end, welcome to my blog!
