What is procrastination? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, procrastination means “to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done.” Do you ever procrastinate? Sal from Khan Academy has recorded a few short meditations to help with this problem.

Spark your thinking!

1. Set up your SEL mini spark recording page: #9: Guided Meditation: Procrastination

2.    Think of a time when you put something off until the last minute, something that you knew you probably shouldn’t have. It doesn’t have to be school related. Write it here.

3.   NOTE: This step will take about 12 minutes and it is helpful if you can sit in a quiet space.

Complete this “Guided Meditation to help you stop procrastinating” with Sal. When you are done, write “I did guided meditation” on your recording sheet.

4.  Write down three ideas you would like to remember from your guided session.

5. Share your SEL mini spark recording page with your teacher or the EY coordinator in your building.
