Procrastination, Prizes, and Power Moves! 🚀
Your weekly dose of inspiration and progress from 3MTT Rivers State.
Hey 3MTT Rivers State Fam!
How are you doing? How are you progressing with your learning goals?
Before we dive into this week’s program updates, let’s chat about procrastination. Life happens, right? Between deadlines, learning curves, and the occasional Netflix binge (no judgment! Lol.), we all struggle with procrastination sometimes.
It’s something I’ve battled with – honestly, I’m still in the thick of it. That’s why this email is coming to you now instead of last week. With so many priorities pulling us in different directions, it's easy to put things off.
We're all a work in progress. I’m learning to be kinder to myself, and you should too. Here’s a tip that’s been helpful for me: Break tasks into smaller, manageable bits and take things one step at a time. It makes the workload less intimidating and easier to start and, of course, complete.
What about you? How have you been managing? Do you face similar struggles? Feel free to share in the comments section.
Remember, we're a community of learners, each navigating our unique journey. Let's learn to celebrate our small wins and encourage each other along the way.
Speaking of wins...

I want to congratulate all the prize winners this week. Although I didn't win, I believe there may have been issues with the activity I participated in that prevented me from being among the winners. I need to find out more about how the activities are organized, as it seems strange that I didn't win. Nonetheless, I still want to extend my congratulations to the week five winners.
I've been dealing with a lot of activities lately, and I've noticed that procrastination tends to creep in when I feel overwhelmed. It's time for me to take your advice and start breaking down my tasks to make them more manageable. Thank you for the suggestion.
