This is SO interesting and almost therapeutic, coming from an extremely indecisive individual and chronic procrastinator. I assume a lot of us are guilty of prioritising shorter/quicker tasks over the bigger assessment items that only end up causing us more stress when we tackle them last minute and unprepared :( --Ebrixon (discuss • contribs) 13:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
