Persuasive Essay: Good Habits

Do you have problems getting things done? Do you feel that you 
procrastinate too often? This is a very large issue, especially for 
teenagers my age. However, there is a possible solution to this problem.

School is very important for our youth. However, a lot of our youth 
does not realize this. Therefore, their parents and teahers are the 
ones pushing them to get as good of an education as possible. With the 
parents and teachers thinking this way, they are disappointed when you 
do not do as well as they know you can do. For a lot if teenagers, 
what their parents think about them is a big deal. Therefore, if they 
are disappointed in them, this can cause minor or serious emotional 
pain.

Most people do something that they want to do rather than what they 
are supposed to do when they are procrastinating. You may be playing 
video games, listening to music, or talking on the phone when you are 
supposed to be doing your homework. This could result in bad grades in 
school.

  My proposal is that you do what I do. When I have something 
important to do but I want to do something else, I do what I need to 
do, and I use what I want to do as a motive to make sure that what I 
need to do gets done. For example, if I really want to play video 
games, but I know that I need to wash the dishes, I would wash the 
dishes, all the while thinking about the video games. I would 
constantly remind myself, "All you need to do is finish, then you 
could play yor video games." Saying this pushes me to get the dishes 
done.

Having something or someone pushing you to do what is important for 
you to do can be very beneficial. This can help people to get their 
school work done. Getting school work done will help you to get better 
grades. Better grades will help boost both your self-esteem and your 
parents faith in your skills. This will help your emotional health to 
either become better or stay on the sufficient level that it is at. 
Hopefully, you will use this technique to better your health.
