I have noticed that I do better in school when I have distractions. For instance, when I play a sport, work a job, participate in activities outside of school I get higher grades than when I have more free time. I guess school isn't necessarily easier, but I do better.
Why do you think that is? Do you guys (microaggression) notice this same trend?
I'm a little worried because wrestling starts tomorrow, and this means that I have a huge time commitment. However, from my past experiences, I always turn out okay. Should I use this trend to calm myself?
Just an interesting thing I've noticed about myself.
Activities are not distractions, they are occupations. When left to our own devices, we will slack off because we have more time (testifying right here). If given a bunch of things to occupy our time, we will focus on each task more. Maybe it's adrenaline, or maybe it's purely psychological, but people work harder when they have more on their mind. Well, sometimes.
