We chose to do the Excuse Busting technique because we wanted to see what types of excuses we made when we procrastinated. This helped me to understand why we were really procrastinating by listing out our excuses and the reason for procrastination. We had to think about the reality of why we said that. I thought it was really easy to list them out, we weren't sure if it was really helpful. Sometimes when you procrastinate, you just can't help procrastinating. So, we thought that other motivation strategies such as hearing encouragement or ranking priorities would help us to not procrastinate.

We chose to do the Time Wasters technique because we tend to waste time when we want to avoid certain tasks. This helped us to list things that wasted my time, and instead see other things we could be doing. We observed that we would waste time usually with socializing and using technology. I thought it was really easy to list them out as well, and it helped us to focus on not using them. It was very helpful because we like to write down things and to see things visually in order to motivate us to stop using them.
