    What is cover note and motivation letter?

     Cover note

     If you got interested in labour offer you probably would react on it. Cover note is a part of your reaction together with CV and other enclosures demanded.

    Putting things off or procrastination - a thief of time

    Putting things off is problem number one for many students regardless of their study level. Some people let it grow to dimensions causing great problems. If the tendency to supersede duties and tasks is noticeable and chronic, we are speaking about procrastination. Especially people who have no external pressure to meet their obligations and are allowed to organize their time freely and in accordance with their own wishes suffer from this syndrome.
