Staying Busy

Is staying busy really important, or should people start to relax more often? I find that when I have a lot of school-work that needs to get done, the busier I am the quicker the work will get done. If I do not have anything to do, I lack motivation to do my "home-work", therefore it gets put of until the very last minute. I believe that if we are busy with other outside tasks, we become motivated to work on the things we need to right away so we can enjoy our other events.

For example, whenever I am going out of town for the weekend, I strive to accomplish any homework that I am behind on so that I can enjoy my time away from school instead of stressing over the work that I have put off.

If I find I am lacking in motivation, usually I go to the library. I do not know why, but when I sit in the quiet study-area I am extremely focused and motivated to get my work done (particularly my papers for WRA). Perhaps we are all heavily influenced by the body language of other people (subconciously), so when people are being routy we become routy and when people are being clam and studious we follow their example.

I can say that staying busy while in school is probably the best thing a student can do, versus not having any outside activities and only school work.
