Long Night of Postponed Course Papers

Student Union Chemnitz-Zwickau

Everyone of us postpones tasks from time to time. This is quite normal. The lecture deals with questions such as: In which situations do we particularly "like" to procrastinate tasks? What good reasons do we have for procrastinating? When is procrastination no longer acceptable? And above all: What strategies we know to prevent procrastination? The lecture therefore provides a lot of information, but includes also lots of practical tips and advices that could be tried out immediately or even later at home.

Entrepreneurs Network SAXEED

There are different strategies to overcome „Prokrastination“. Apart from a variety of technics, like the Pomodoro-technic, or to ask friends and other students for support, a clear idea of the own objectives might be a strong motivation.
Further information regarding SAXEED:
We as Entrepreneurs Network SAXEED, jointly with the Career Service, both services of Chemnitz University of Technology, offer your assistance right to that topic. We support students in reaching their objectives subsequent to studies. This might be the start into a job but also the path towards entrepreneurship.
During the “Night of the Postponed Course Papers”, we will be there for you at an information booth. You are cordially invited to chat with us or to define together with us your objectives and look for ways to make them true after completion of studies. Quite frequently, already a conversation with a professional or entrepreneur helps a lot in getting a deeper understanding which competencies and skills are required for the desired field. This might i.a. contribute to overcome mental barriers and thus also to complete course and final papers in a shorter time
