This is a dilemma I frequently find myself in. I feel I have above-average intelligence, but I can't seem to grasp the concept completing things in a timely matter. There are the odd assignments I finish days before I need to, however. I am a stubborn person and I'm not one to except much less than perfection. So, I'm not the most pleasant person to be around when I have projects that must be finished.
I obviously am well aware of my problem, yet I do little to correct it. "Is there really a need?" I'll ask myself. Of course I have a good point. I don't remember the last time I've had a late paper and I've had great grades my whole academic career. I get so stressed, though. So I believe in the long run it is worth it. From this day forward I will work on my problem with procrastination. So I'll start my pre-calculus homework due tomorrow evening. Or maybe I'll search for ways to temporarily dye my hair.
I have the exact same problem.. I have to leave my house at about 6:30 to get here on time and I finished my blog post at about 6:00. Also, if you look at my blog post you will see I finish assignments at the last minute as well. I had an assignment for about 2 weeks but ended up writing it the night before.. struggles. Like you, I have never had a problem with this technique (other than stress and lack of sleep) so I don't really have a reason to fix it. We're in this together, though.
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with you about procrastination but it helps to me to set a consequence for myself if I don't finish my work.
ReplyDeleteHaha that is great, I feel the exact same way.. thinking that I'll start early and get stuff done but then something else pops into my head as I'm working on it and then i get distracted and move on to the next thing and revert myself back to what i was originally trying to get to in the first place... its a struggle.
ReplyDeleteI think there are many people that relate to the problem of procrastination and there are differing opinions on the pros and cons.
ReplyDeleteIt's clear we can all relate to procrastination! Do you think it's because we all have so many things that we HAVE to do in our lives that it makes it hard to start on any of them?
