Getting Started

There are many things that I need to do to be prepared for class. I can deal with being prepared and getting to class on time, stuff like that. One thing that I know I need improvement on is getting started with my work. Sometimes I have problems with this. I would say that I am a procrastinator for a lot of things and classwork is one of them. Classwork and projects are some of the things that I'm not so eager to get started on. There will be some times where I can get started with no problem, more often than not I seem to either be confused of don't feel like doing anything at the moment. Lately this problem hasn't really occured and its fine. I chose this skill because I believe that I need improvement in this area and I feel that soon it wont be a problem at all.
