Procrastination

[Llama]

Do you procrastinate a lot?

I think I do in just about everything that I don't want to complete, and I end up saving things until the last minute.

Starts out like

"Oh, I'll do that in a half-hour"

Half-hour passes

"Eh, it can wait another half-hour"

Soon enough, it turns into 24 hours and I'm in a deep hole. :(

[Velius]

I only can procrastinate with the stuff that I can. Like shows to watch or downloading something. Or getting a message to someone. LOL. Stuff that really don't matter. All the important stuff, I know better then to, unless I want to be out on the street. ha.

[shivath]

I tend to do it with the stuff that really matters, lol. Like looking for a job...which is a bad thing to put on hold. I'm usually pretty good with keeping up the tasks I got ahead. Specially since I hate it when people keep me waiting and so on.

For school work (projects, essays etc) I find it nearly impossible to finish them UNTIL the last day. Terrible mindset I know, I'd die in college >.>

I actually attempt to procrastinate on a lot of things. That may sound a little weird/stupid, but I've always found that I work best under pressure. And believe you me, there's no greater pressure than having a 20 page report due the next day. Especially when you haven't written a single word. I try to take my time and pace myself on the important things, of course, but for school work, I always complete things on time and actually perform much better when I've procrastinated.

[Frosted Heart]

I procrastinate WAY too much, especially on school work. :( I should listen to Murphy and his law that states that things always take longer than expected. Sigh. =/

[3nd3r]

Same with SBJ, I need pressure to do work otherwise... teh interw3b gets me.

[Nocturne]

So tempted to say I'll post something about procrastination tomorrow, but I won't. Queen of procrastination I am. Definitely for reports I end up doing everything last minute. I don't think I've ever written a paper weeks ahead of the due date in my life. As others have said, work best under pressure, but the stress that comes along with it is hell. :/

[HELLA PINOY]

I do it all the time! lmao. School, work studying, reports, downloading music...I rented GRAW2 for Xbox 360 3 days ago...only played it once cus of all the other crap I gotta do on a daily basis >_<

[hyiceme]

lol! same here. I've never done any school work ahead of time, ever! even if it's a 10-page paper, I will still find myself doing it the night before due date. It's so funny because my brother is polar opposite from me. He's like an overachiever, always doing everything ahead... so I am THE procrastinator in my family.

[alexie]

Almost everyone in my family is a procrastinator. You'll see the living room light on till 5 AM trying to finish all the homework. To say that I was late to my high school graduation (you could see a figure crawling on the ground and forcing someone out of their seat). Also we hold up my cousin's wedding b/c we where late. It's a bad habit that runs in the family.

[spacecat]

Yeah it takes up most of my life. I dunno, I wish I could snap out of it sometimes.

[speedphantom]

I am a serial procrastinator. I love having fun all the time meaning not doing stuff which isn't fun ie doing the dishes, washing clothes, painting, etc.

Homework I always leave to the last minute and so far through 14 years of education it seems to be going alright but I need to change that >_>

[Shannon]

I'm the master of procrastination. My friends absolutely hate it when I ace my classes when they know I do the homework the class before. Or I do my projects on the day, and achieve an A for it.

[HELLA PINOY]

Thats the same thing with me, lol. I always study 5 min before the test and ace it or finish a project the class before. I like to call it a gift, lol

[3nd3r]

Tis a god-given characteristic, as I'd like to say. ^_^

[Shannon]

It's a gift I apparently use oh-so-much. Way too often, but if it still gets me the grades, then there you go. I'll stick with it. But I think I should try to do my homework on time. XD

I can ace my tests, but I won't get a hundred on the major tests unless I at least study for about half an hour. o.O

[3nd3r]

I assume we are all "that type"? You know, the ones that piss off friends by saying they bombed the test because you procrastinated, only to find out they've aced it. Every. Single. Time.

[Llama]

Lol, and you know who I am on there.

I need to start turning my procrastination into a positive thing like you guys have been doing.

speed - please keep all posts on topic or at least have some relevant content in them. Deleted previous 2 posts.

[Slev]

I usually get no sleep the night before something is due. I always tell myself "yea, I'll start that a week before I need to finish it" but I never actually do. This mentality has seriously screwed me over a few times, but I just can't seem to stop :\

[3nd3r]

Sure do lol.

People always pressuring you to study and all that... live above the influence; procrastinate with pride. xD

[nightshift]

I'll say its not a very good trait to carry onto paying bills...

Pretty much all school stuff I've always procrastinated on, but now that I'm getting into higher level classes I'm gonna have to study and do stuff ahead of time or I'll be screwed

[Skorpz]

i procrastinate all the time with any work i have to do, i just don't like to do the work so early because than i would just have an open head with nothing until it most the deadline to get the idea so i just wait until its close to the deadline since i think better.

[Lilium]

wow...i think procrastination is probably my worst habit besides laziness =P Honestly, sometimes I really wish I could kick myself in the butt (if only I was flexible enough =P). But honestly, it's one of my habits that I really would like to change.....sometime in the future =P. Ah the irony.

[emoloz]

I kinda priorties like i work it out before i procrastinate like i will make sure theres enought time to put it off and stuff. If its downloading i do.

[Zelos]

i procrastinate with just about everything and i do hate that part of my personality >.< but no matter how hard i try not to, i still wait til the last minute to do anything :P. theres some great DA journal stamps like "PROCRASTINATORS UNITE! tomorrow..." XP

i think i work better under pressure, though, so maybe it isnt so bad.

[Shinrin]

To much.

I rarely do stuff when i know it would be best to do it...
my main issue is when stuff ain't permanent, in other words have to become habits... im not much for that kind of restrictions so i try to keep it down.
