there is plenty of time to do it.

Assume that once you start a project it will be completed without a
hitch & you won't encounter problems.

Assume everything will always work for you: your schedule, the weather,
your computer, new programs, your printer, finding your thumb drives,
blank cds, Internet connections, your car, ...

Assume you can sit down & complete assignments in one sitting.

Assume that anytime spent doing other thing (i.e., playing games or
hanging out with friends) does not cut into the amount of time available
to do work.

Assume that thinking about doing the assignment is the same as actually
doing the assignment.

Assume the teacher will accept a BS story in lieu of an assignment.

Assume days off were meant to be enjoyed & not tainted with work.

Assume job takes priority over school work.

Assume school work is harder than it actually is so you have a good
excuse for not doing it.

Assume a self-defeating attitude gives you the right to not even try to
succeed.

Assume you will one day do everything right without really doing
anything to change the way you do things.

Assume that since you know how to do something in theory it is the same
as actually doing it.

Assume that if someone asks you to go out & do something that you have
to do it.

Assume that taking on long days means you can get another day off to
work.

Assume that setting up your schedule with plenty of free days means you
will actually use those days to work.

Assume that treating your bad work ethic as some insurmountable mental
problem is a good excuse to fail.

Assume that any problems you have must be dealt with by you alone which
makes them impossible to overcome.

Assume that you are destined to fail & don't bother trying to succeed.
