As a student, catching up on the assignment deadline is one of the most difficult tasks. We usually set aside for hours to complete our tasks in spite of straining our heads. And when the last hour finally begins, we do everything possible to stay focused. Everyone has experienced a phase where they have stopped getting their work done till the last minute.
Recently a PhD student going through a similar situation had to post a sign to avoid contacting people.
In a note shared by Twitter user @Steve_Bingham92, the student had instructed others to avoid talking to her. The note mentions that she is finishing her PhD work and that she is a terrible procrastinator who will stop working if she talks to someone.
Take a look at the note here:
The post has garnered over 8,400 likes and 750 retweets since it was shared.
Netizens started sharing similar notes, so as to avoid distracting people’s attention. A user by the handle @NoDepret shared a picture of a note saying, “Please don’t talk to me… I have to write but I have no self-control and I will talk to you for 30 minutes.”
One Twitter user commented, “I had to buy a pair of ear protectors at my PhD office. My colleagues were cute and not so loud. I was easily distracted!”
Another wrote, “Is it necessary for one of my former colleagues to restrain himself from doing anything other than finishing his thesis?” After he’s gone.”
A third person said, “There has to be an unwritten rule, if you’re at your desk with your head/earphones on, don’t bother. Even if they’re off. However, I’m guilty of breaking this rule.”
