Something I Have Learned Along The Way--Usa Yamagami

In Japanese schools, a lot of homework is assigned during the summer vacation. Elementary school students, in particular, have to do all kinds of homework, including calculation drills, free research, arts and crafts, and essays. In junior high and high school students, the amount of homework is reduced, but the content of homework becomes more difficult.

Either way, it is best to finish homework early after summer vacation begins and play spontaneously in the second half of the vacation.

However, I accumulated homework every year and did it just before the last day of vacation, almost in tears.

This habit of putting off unpleasant things is a disadvantage but not a benefit if not corrected. In fact, there were several times when I didn't finish my homework and couldn't submit it on time.

I want to somehow fix this lazy habit and become a person who can meet deadlines before I start working as a member of society.

    Wow, Usa, I remember the summer holiday homework in Japan too. My kids would bring it home at the beginning of the summer holidays each year. There was certainly lots to do. Actually, I struggle with leaving important tasks to the last minute, like you. One strategy for helping you do those important tasks first is rewarding yourself with something you like once you have completed one. David :-)

About me Masateru Yamahata

 My name is Masateru Yamahata. I am from Nagoya. It is located in the middle of Japan. Nagoya is one of the biggest cities in Japan. There are a lot of sightseeing spots. I am 21 years old. I live with my parents and little sister. I also live with my dog that a white toy poodle. I'm a student at Meijo University. At university I learn communication and how to teach and learn second language. My hobby is playing the drums. I'm a member of the band club in my university. I often play Japanese pos and rock music. I have been playing the drums since I joined the band club in my high school. These days, I started playing the guitars and basses. Both are very difficult but enjoyable. It's a great change of pace. I need to practice drumming more, but it is difficult to stay motivated. I am also interested in composing music, but it is very difficult and time consuming, so I don't think I will be doing it for a while. Of course, I like listening to music and sometimes I listen...

Tamon Yamamoto ESTJ

 I was an ESTJ on the personality test. That personality tended to be responsible, hardworking, and liked to be represented. I don't think that fits me very well. I don't think it is a good match for me because I am not very responsible and I don't really want to do things on behalf of others.

Masateru Yamahata-INTJ

 My Myers-Briggs test result was INTJ. It is the strategist. I partially agree with this result. The strategist person is analyzed who has introspective, analytical, determined people with natural leadership ability. I am not very good at being a leader, and I only analyze things when I am interested in them myself. However, I am in leadership positions more often than I used to be, so test result may be an influence.
