We have all been there. Whether it was when we were 6, 16 or 26 we have all had a school project, or an assignment to do and left it to the last minute. Stress and panic followed. In fact, it is best summarized by Turbit's Law.
The five "P's" that relate to assignments.
We
firstly
do
nothing.
Finally
with
around
80%
of
the
available
time
past,
we
panic.
Then
we
proceed
-
not
necessarily
in
any
direction.
More
in
the
manner
of
the
famous
headless
chicken.
With
some
luck,
with
only
a
few
hours
to
go,
we
stop,
plan
what
we
have
to
do,
and
only
then
do
we
really
perform.
Trying
to
fathom
out
why
we
do
this
is
better
done
by
a
team
of
psychologists.
This
site
is
about
helping
you
start
with
the
"Plan",
and
then
"Perform".
It
is
applicable
to
anyone
from
a
parent
helping
a
six
year
old
child
create
a
model
of
a
farm
for
a
school
project,
to
a
university
student
doing
a
doctorate.
In
fact,
the
earlier
the
habits
can
be
instilled,
the
easier
life
will
be.
