My Project Contract

As I have mentioned in a few of my posts I am taking on the class project solo. So for this assignment instead of writing a group contract I will write a contract for myself which will outline the goals that I want to achieve for my project. I am an avid procrastinator, in fact I think I may have an award for this somewhere but I will pick it up later after I watch Biggest Loser. So the number one goal that I have to commit to is to not procrastinate and make and take the time several hours a week to work on my project. I am working by myself so I do not have to work around anyone’s schedule just to communicate however working by myself means that I must not only research, write, and complete my project it must also mean that I must get on top of a computer knowledge so that I can publish my project. This is difficult for me because my computer literacy does not extend far beyond buying tchotchkies on Ebay and choosing my next NetFlix pick. In this contract I will commit to take the time to learn about the most effective way to get my project out there whether it be a blog, webpage or some other way to publish it. This means that I must take the time for several hours a week to immerse myself in a “For Dummies” book on internet publishing. Basically I commit to devoting the time to complete my project calmly well in advance of the deadline. I commit to this so that I can eliminate ’the usual’ procrastinated effort to do something which consists of a Red Bull and panic fueled overnight attempt to complete something all the while cursing Biggest Loser and those damn Fat Cats on YouTube for being so distracting.
