You know you have procrastinated once. Everyone has. So have I and I know a lot of people too. What I recently heard is that the main reason people procrastinate is because they like to work under stress. Lets say you have this essay due tomorrow (how originial lol) and its supposed to be a 3 page essay. Well its 9:00 PM or more and you are like "..." but then you start doing your work until late at night as fast you can and actually do finish it for tomorrow. What motivated you to actually do it? Was it the stress of the deadline? Without any stress, you wouldn't feel a need to do a certain thing a certain time.

I myself, have always been a procrastinator. I know it isn't entirely good and it shouldn't really be. But lately I have been procrastinating a lot and I haveseen some consequences. So how much do you procrastinate?

I battled off procrastination 2 months ago, but I still procrastinate on one thing or another. Though I'd say they're very minor. I would say self-criticism is the leading cause of procrastination, but that is not always the case, for me it was underestimating the importance of free time, I was more of a work-a-holic than procrastinator, though in a way I was both. >.>

This thread AGAIN?

Why must this thread be made so often?

It's not clever, it's not interesting and it is far far far far far from original.

Meh, I'll type up a proper response for this thread later... [spoiler] If that doesn't give you an idea of how much I procrastinate, I honestly don't know what will. :P [/spoiler]

I don't any more. Since joining seminary they've kept me pretty busy. They don't like it when I procrastinate.

Sure we are allowed to do this stuff. However I'm at home for Thanksgiving so I can be online more. Usually I don't get on at school because I don't have the time. That's why I've been gone for the past 2 months.

Well thank you.. Yea we have computers on every floor since I'm a new man I'm not allowed my own computer until next year. and they ask we at least try and limit our time on the computer. They recommend no more than an hour per day of non-academic time. But what we do is up to us, well unless it's inappropriate then that's a different story.

Yea I remember you a little. It's sad being away from exciting discussion for so long a time.. But Philosophy major is difficult and does require quite a bit of studying. so I guess it's a good thing I'm away.. Thanks for the support we will see what will happen, 8 years of school is a long time.

It is probably the worst characteristic I have. I put stuff off till the last min all the time, especially school work.

I don't know, but when it comes to writing reports, I tend to make up more crap at the last minute than I can if I was working on it weeks before it was due. :lol:

When I was in school, I did nothing but procrastinate. I was pretty good at it too.....until it came time for the test and I didn't know a damn thing. That switched my attitude around real quick ;)
