If I chose to write my educational narrative on how I learned to stop procrastinating:
-I could talk about the trillion mornings I got up at 4 am to finish an assignment
-I could talk about how my work was never as good as it could have been
could I talk about this for 1000-1200 words? I don't know.
I could talk about what opportunities I lost by procrastinating.
that's depressing. 1000 words still seems iffy.
I could talk about that stuff and then go on about how procrastinating will waste your life away and "don't do tomorrow what you can do today"
maybe.
Hey, good name, "don't do today what you can do tomorrow: the taylor tompkins story"
it will include:
-examples of my procrastination (I could go on about that for a year-_-)
-what I lost
-how I overcame it
I will focus on:
-how procrastination is intellectual cancer
In telling this story I will delight in:
I'll be honest, writing this paper is gonna suck because no one likes to look back and write 1000 words on their shortcomings, but I will delight in the fact that it will motivate me more to do stuff that matters.
As a fellow procrastinator, I have the same battles as you. I'm the stay up until 4 a.m. type, though. I do my best work under pressure. I think of my procrastination time as a "planning period".
