Procrastination=ME

If you look up the word procrastination, it definitely would have my name right next to the definition. I have always say I will do my assignment now. So I would sit down, open my books and start reading or whatever I have to do. But within ten minutes, I get distracted and say I will get back to my work in a fwe minutes. Those few mintues turn into a few days or the day before the assignment is due. I dont know how many times I tried to stop doing this but it hasnt worked. If anyone knows how to stop procrastinating please do share with me.
I even looked online to see what other people do to stop delaying their work but it didnt help at all. The only way I do something on time is if there is someone nagging me every day to do it. Even then I just get annoyed if the person and dont do it just to get back at them for annoying me. My friends have tried to help to but I feel like nothing will ever work untill I learn a lesson from my laziness.

Story of my Life



Drew a little comic describing my life at school.
I know procrastination is a bad habit for many students at University. But the internet is just filled with so many interesting things to distract you! I know for sure that a lot of my friends are doing similar things on their computers such as browsing through funny pictures, lurking on Facebook, or playing video games.

The Last Minute

If there is one thing that I am guilty of, it is being a huge procrastinator. My friend likes to say that procrastinators that are actually able to do all the work that is presented to them, and do it without cutting corners are much smarter that others because they are able to do the amount of work it took one person to do in 2 weeks to do in a few hours before this is true. I don't think this is true at all because every time I have some sort of assignment I regret it every time when I leave myself no time to do anything else other than the assignment.

To be honest, I think I'm somewhat cursed. I have a "skill", if you want to call it that, that I know exactly how long something will take me, and I won't start it until I have that much time left to do it. Sometimes it even surprises me when I'll start and think that there will be no way I finish this in time, and then somehow be able to finish it in time, and with good results.

So it certainly holds true to me that if it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done.

Procrastination


I hate it so much. I always get anxious nearing due dates but I always happen to find someway to procrastinate. I tell myself to start working but it never helps and I always end up finding something to preoccupy myself with, whether its videogames or youtube. Everyone procrastinates but me, quoting a friend here "give deadlines a striptease". Maybe it's masochism, maybe I secretly enjoy pulling all nighters to finish up with the very last bit of my energy the last sentence in a paper. Maybe I enjoy the thrill, how far I can delay doing work before I actually can't finish. I always found some way to finish my work though, sometimes as close as ten minutes before the class starts.
As professor Baldwin says, we have to pace ourselves. My mom told me I have bad time management skills and do not allocate enough time for me to do work. I used to think that it was fine, but now in hindsight, I really should've develop these time keeping habits. Managing time is essential to living life, because without this skill you waste alot of time doing nothing. Efficiency goes down and you can't do what you want to do.I think and I am going to stop procrastinating and do my work when I am supposed to. Hopefully.
