Subject: Who Procrastinates?

Written By: lebeiw15 on 06/02/04 at 10:51 pm

I think we all procrastinate when there's something we have to do but don't want to.  Since I'm in high school, usually this applies to me as mainly studying and getting homework/lame projects done.  Is there anyone who actually doesn't procrastinate?  Do you like to just get things done right away?  When you put something off, do you usually do it the week before?  The night before?  That day?

I'm supposed to have been working on a computer game, but so far I've worked out the entire plot etc. but in terms of practical work, I've done two frames of the intro movie.

I procrastinate way too much. I'm actually supposed to be selling ads for my journalism class in order to raise money for the newspaper, but I keep putting off going out. By the time I get around to doing it, there will be no places left to go!

Plus, I have to sell even more ads during the school year! :-\\

I procrastinate alot.  I didn't when I was younger, but as I've gotten older I find myself doing it alot.  The only things I don't put off are things I really hate to do because I'd rather get them over with  ;)  I seem to be letting other stuff slide.  It drives my husband NUTS because he never procrastinates  ;D

I think I might...

I know a lot of my procrastination is form my childhood environment, I used to watch my brother particularly, one of the great "Act first, think later" people of our time, get into constant trouble.

As a result, I tend to overthink every action  ::)  But I still prefer that than the bull at a gate approach  :P

In life - yeah, guilty of mulling over things from time to time. I'm actually more of a worrier. ::)

In my working life......in fact all of my working life - if I did, I wouldn't have a job anymore, ironically. :(

Even though I'm embarrassed to admit it, I have a big tendency to procrastinate. I keep telling myself to get things done as soon as possible (like school assignments), but something keeps getting in the way, important or unimportant. It's a really bad habit that I've been trying for years to get rid of. :-[

My major school project is due next monday. I've had a month to do it so far, and I've barely done anything.  :-\\
I remember a few years ago, my teacher gave us 3 months to do this ginormous project, and I told myself that I wouldn't procrastinate, so I went home the day she explained it and started. Then the day before it was due I started to work on it again. I'd scrapped the page I'd wrote 3 months earlier and and typed up a major report.  ;)

I also cram for tests. And when I study I'm listening to music and completely not concentrating on my studying.  :(

For me everything has to wait until the very last moment when I do not have a choice but get it done.  Even then I would still try to find an excuse.

Unfortunately I do too. Like when I had final exams earlier this week, I waited too long to study for one of them.

One thing I shouldn't procrastinate doing: holiday shopping! I got some of it done today, but the rest will have to wait a couple more days.

I think that most guys procrastinate until they get a girlfriend.  Then they cut way back on it.

I still seem to have a very bad habit of procrastinating. >:( I have a 3-page essay due for literature tomorrow, but again, I waited too long to work on it. So I have spent the last several hours trying to get it done. It's half done, but hopefully I wont be the only person who won't have it all done nine hours from now.
