Procrastination - are you bad for it?

Right now it's nearly 4am, i have an exam at 9:30 and here i am on Gamespot. I've reached a point in my life where i procrastinate, and genuinely cant seem to stop myself from doing it, to the point where i will gladly leave all of my preparation for an exam or an assignment to the immediate night before. It was once a couple of weeks before. Then i'd leave it 'til a couple of days. Then i'd hit the books big time the day before.

Now i have faced genuinely opening a book for the first time seven hours before my exam begins. :P I NEED HELP!

Thankfully i have answered all of the questions, condensed them, put my answers into note form and now i just need to read over them and try my best to memorise everything before i leave for the exam in about four hours. :)

If we define procrastination as ALWAYS getting the work done, but just leaving it as long as possible, i think i definitely qualify as about as bad as it gets. :P

Oh man, I never seem to finis

I'm pretty bad when it comes to it. I would love to fix my procrastination problem but I probably won't get around to it.

Oh yeah, unless its something I am getting paid for then I usually get it done ASAP.

I used to be terrible for it.

I got a wake up call when I messed up at uni, so now Im right there doing my assignments as soon as I get them. Ohhyeeh.

Queue dozens of procrastination jokes. That's if any of you can be bothered to get around to....Ninja-Hippo

My English grade says I am.

Funny, because on the last day of the term, I go from a D to a B every time.

I think the problem with procrastination is sometimes there isn't enough punishment for procrastinating.

I don't procrastinate. I just do what I feel like doing when I feel like doing it. That way I always get what I want done and Im always happy about it. :)

In HIgh School, I was good with getting stuff done early.

In college now, I tend to procrastinate alot.

I was going to continue to work on a paper after work today, but I spent most of my time on here, GameFAQs, and watching funny stuff on youtube. >_>

I can tend to have a bad case of procrastination-- in particular, with schoolwork and with teaching duties. For the two classes of College Algebra I'm teaching this quarter, I have 6 quizzes that I still haven't passed back to my students :)

wellI should be doing physics work right now.Instead I'm writing about how I procrastinate.

I am probably the biggest procrastinator in my family.

I do it all the time, I should be doing a science project right now...but GS is funner.

I am really bad when it comes right down to it. Nice sig, ninja hi fi Panda bear.

I almost always get my work done way before it's due. I never saved essays or papers for the last minute. I'd start working on them weeks before the due date in order to get drafts to the teacher and polish my writing.

I saw this thread yesterday but I put off replying to it until today. :)

I always leave things to the very last minute, but luckily I have not have any important deadlines for the last year or so.
