Proactive or Procrastination?


Be honest, are you proactive or a procrastinator? Why or why not?
I consider myself a heavy procrastinator. I tend to do things last minute, or rush my work. I often get bored during work and just walk away from it, and do something else. Homework and classwork alike, I tend to do things to distract myself from them, and then end up having to play catch up.

How does your level of productivity relate to your amount of free time?
I'm not very productive unless there's some amount of free time to look forward to. Sometimes the opposite is true, but typically I will work very slowly, as if accepting defeat, if there's no free time. If there's no free time, sometimes I also rush and don't do very well, just to get it done.

What would you change about your work habits & how would you do it?
I would make myself a much harder paperwork worker, and I would do this through self-discipline, determination, and raw hard work. Nothing else really seems like it would help, so self-teaching seems like the best way. I would consider myself well-disciplined and composed when it comes to physical things, but when it comes to paperwork, especially concerning school, I feel like I flunk. I would love to be more proactive simply by trying.

My Visual Poem

              

My Visual Poem is about Rock music, and a metaphorical blues musician in a depression, and his music that's the only thing keeping him content. My visuals made an impact by showing emotion, instead of just providing a general idea. It kinda has some relevance to everyday life, and a fair amount of people can relate to it. I liked it a lot and I made it for its expression of music, which is something I am passionate about. My special effects provide a small layer of comedy, but for the most part, it was a serious and expressive piece of work, and the effects were supposed to make you feel how the musician felt. I would say I'm satisfied with my result, it turned out very well, but I could improve the B-Roll and I think I will work harder next time.
