submitted by Abby - Procrastination. The fifteen letter word that eats us all. We all try to avoid it, but it always shows up in the end. Do you think you are a procrastinator? If so, when do you procrastinate most? For what reason? What do you do when you procrastinate?

"we try to avoid it, but it shows up in the end" sounds a lot like procrastination! So what your saying is that people procrastinate, to avoid procrastination...
Haaa... I find that really funny, because it just seems so ironic.
I procrastinate simply because i dont want to do the project/essay/report. For example, i procrastinate the blog posts. Every weekend i do them either Sunday morning or sunday night. Also for essays, I usually wait until the last couple days to do it. Therefore, i am a procrastinator.
I definitely procrastinate, all the time. Like Luke said, I simply do it because I dont want to start the assignment, basically out of laziness. For example, their might be an essay assigned on Monday, and due on Friday. I will wait to Thursday night to do the entire thing. In reality, it's better to do a paragraph a night or something along those lines. Yet I still find myself procrastinating and putting it off until the last second.
I proscrastinate on many occations. For example, whenever we have an essay or a project due, i will do it the day before. I always keep pushing it off until the next day and then i realize that i have to do it. Its better to lay out the work that you have to do, but i still wait until the last day.
I haven't always procratinated, but lately I have a lot because I am lazy or have better stuff to do. For example, I'd much rather be playing outside that writing an essay. Or, I just don't feel like doing homework. I usually wait until the last minute, so I am definetly a procrastinator.
I am a procrastinator mainly because of my lifestyle and time. Usually, I am a lazy kid who slacks of and mostly sleeps at home. So when I get projects/essays that are due a week after they are given, I always think, "I'll just do my assignment later. One week is pretty long." But then the day before it's due, I figure out that I did not even start it yet! So, the way I am and the time that is given to me makes me a procrastinator
i am defanitley a procrsontaer for studying with tests. ill wait for the day before to study but ill only study a little bit so then ill put it off for the bus and then for homeroom and sometimes study hall. i am a procrasonater because i think i have all of the time in the world when i really dont!
I don't think i ever doubted that i am the biggest procrastinator ever. For example i decided to write this blog post at Sunday night and decided to pull up music, pick out my outfit for tomorrow and paint my nails just so i did not have to do this. So in the end i ended up doing things i don't need just to not do this. Therefore underneath the word procrastination my picture should be somewhere near.
I always procrastinate because I don't want to do my homework. For example, if I have a long term homework assignment, I usually wait until the last day or last 2 days to do it. Therefore, I procrastinate a lot when it comes down to homework and out of school assignments.
I procrastinate with everything because I am simply never in the mood to do what I have to. For example, some of the more popular things that I procrastinate with are doing my laundry. Every week, I have to wash my own clothes, fold them and then put them away, and by the time that I actually do it, it is five days later and my mom has told me to do it twenty times! I also have to do my homework every night and I usually start that around seven or eight, then have a break about every thirty minutes, and finally end up finishing it at, maybe, midnight. Also if I have to study for a quiz or test, I typically begin that the night before it is, or on the bus! Therefore, I am literally the biggest procrastinator!
Procastination is a big problem for me. I spend alot of my time putting of work, and doing something unescisary. For example, before beginning this blog comment, i was on facebook, procrastinating. It is the main contributor to when i get bad grades. Therefore, procrastination is a big problem for me.
I am a procrastinator. I procrastinate everything from homework to essays to projects to chores. I procrastinate everything. The reason why i procrastinate so much is because i feel like i could be doing better things with my time, and i dont like homework, projects, essays, or chores. Therefore, since i feel like i could be doing better things with my time and i hate things that i procrastinate, i am a procrastinator
I am one of the biggest procrastinators ever. My mom would even agree. When I have an assignment like the Call of the Wild essay, I wrote and typed everthing the friday saturday and sunday doing it. Really I just don't feel like doing any of the work and put it off until the last day. Like some people said, this is probably a big reason why my grades aren't so good right now. Therefore, I am a really bug procratinator.
I struggle to fight procrastination but I know that I can do it because in previous years I was amazing at getting my homework done quickly with quality and before doing anything else. This makes me hope that in the future I will be able to achieve I goal I have set of being able to do this once again. When I eventually achieve this goal I will be very pleased with myself and will try to continue to keep this habit available.
I procrastinate a lot, especially in LA. For some reason i seem to procastinate in this class the most because the work looks like its going to be easy but when i start working on it i find it is hoard. This messes my grade up a little bit and i should stop procrastinating but for some reason i cant. Therefore i'm a huge procastinantor
I consider myself as a procrastinator. I do not always do it, but when I do it makes me really stressed. I think I do it most on the weekends when I know that I have a lot going on. I know I shouldn't do it because it stresses me out and when I do it I know that I am not trying my best and that I might not get the grade that I know I can get. Therefore, I would call myself a part time procrastinator.
I call myself the master procrastinator. I procrastinate with almost anything. However I procrastinate the most when I have homework or other type of work to do. I believe that it is just because I am not motivated to do it. Plus, I hate wasting my time on it. I will do anything to put off doing my homework. Sometimes i go on facebook, watch tv, listen to music, or spontaneously decide to clean my room. Anything really. It is a bad habit that I have gotten myself into.
I procrastinate like crazy. Whenever i try and study the TV somehow turns on and i get distracted so i end up cramming to finish homework late at night. I've been working on my procrastination this year and some days i do my homework as soon as i get home.
I am a procrastinator when it comes to things like projects because I always put it off until the last minute unless it is a big sectioned project. I procrastinate because I find it boring and tedious to do projects and I think why do it when you have days to do it. I do not procrastinate when it is an important project. Instead of doing the work I will play outside or do other homework. Therefore i should not procrastinate but I do.
I am a procrastinator because i just simply don't feel like doing the work until the last minute.For example in the 7th grade i had a project due the 17th of that month and we got it on the 1st and i waited till it was the 15th to do it because i felt that i had something better to do or i didn't feel like it."Therefore this shows that i procrastinate because i don't feel like it like when i was doing that project.
I would say that I am defiantly procrastinator. It’s not that I want to be one it just happens, because I have so many things in my mind at once. I have it got down to a science. I know how much time it will take, and when I can fit into my schedule. All that matters is that I get everything done in time and it gets to the teacher. I keep a stable grade. So in my case procrastinating is a good thing.
I think I am a procrastinator because I do not want to do an assignment or project. For example, last year I was assigned a social studies project two weeks before it was due. I waited until the night before to do it. I procrastinated by occupying my time playing sports. This wastes a lot of time and is a bad habit. Therefore, I procrastinate when I am assigned a project or assignment.
I definitely procrastinate a lot more this year than I have in the past. I'm getting tired of the same things each week and it makes me put off my hw more and more. I usually sit down to start it and then end up just staring at it thinking about how much I really don't want to work on it but how I really should just get it done. So I just end up wasting more time when I procrastinate than if I would just get the work done to begin with.
Okay, lets face it we all procrastinate. No ones really does the essay the first day we get it or even the second. But what I wanna know is why. Why do we all procrastinate so much if we know its so bad? Why do we all expect to get such good grades if he did it the day before its do? Why don;t we learn our lesson?
I am definetly a procrastinator, because I always wait untill the last possible second to do things. When I have homework over the weekend, I always do it Sunday night. I always think I will do things the first chance I get, but when I sit down and try to start, I get bored and do something else. Therefore, I procrastinate all the time.
Colleen asked a great question; we all know that it’s bad so why do we do it? I think its because we get distracted easily from all the electronics such as facebook, TV, and music etc. For example, we say that we will do the project, essays etc. but then end up checking facebook and staying on there for hours. Therefore, because there are so many distractions, it makes it harder to concentrate on studying, which is the last thing we want to do.
I do procrastinate and probably everyone else does too^^^, I feel like i could do better things with my time than work on homework,project, and etc. I procrastinate alot of by watching tv and watching youtube videos, therefore i procrastinate like almost everyone else.
I am definatly a procrastinator because it took me two days to finally comment on this post. Yesterday, I opened this post and decided I was going to comment on it but then I got distracted and did not end up starting it until today. Therefore, I procrastinate because it took me two whole days to comment on one post.
I procrastinate a lot simply because I think that we more than enough time to do it but the assignment is actually just around the corner. If my class gets a project to do that's do a month later, I do not do it until the last week. I have been procrastinating since I was younger and I adapted to it. Hopefully before I get to high school, I will do my homework the day I get it no matter what the cost.
I procrastinate all of the time because I never feel like doing the essay or whatever asap. I think procratinating is a bad thing because you have a lot to do the night before. I usually wait until the night its due, then rush it and I start to wish I did it earlier. Therefore, I always put it off, then I always unfortunately do it in one night.
I procrastinate a lot. Instead of doing home work I play videos games or watch TV. I usually do homework last minute. I feel like I should do something I enjoy instead of doing something I hate. That’s why I procrastinate.
Procrastinating is my worst trait... I do it all the time and it always gets me in trouble. Ill procrastinate with the smallest things, like getting something signed, to the more important things, such as giant essays. I really need to work on this because it is hurting me, but I never can..
I also procrastinate like everyone else because i also have something better to do. Like everyone else said i wait last second to write my essays, do my homework, and do the blogs. I think the reason why i procrastinate is that i do not like to do homework and i have been doing it more and more because its at the end of the year and everyone is sick off school. Therefore, since there are more things that strike our interest than homework, we procrastinate.
I procastinate with usually everything I'm assigned to do. Reasoning being is I always tend to do my homework at 8 or 9 so by then I'm tired. So if I see homework, an essay, or a project that isn't due that night, I push it off to another night. Therefore, constantly pushing away the assignment until the night it's due makes me a big procastinator.
I procrastinate a lot, and it mostly happens when I am given something that I can put off a day or too. For example, in Algebra whenever we have a math project, there are about 3 days between the due dates when certain parts are due. Everytime I will wait until the day before to do it, because i tell myself that I have time, and no matter how stressed I get, I never learn from my mistakes. And when I'm procrastinating, I don't actually do anything, I complain about being bored, when I could be doing my homework, but something in my brain is just making me never want to do my homework. Therefore, because I put off any homework that is due more than one day in the future and I don't do anything when I'm procrastinating, I am an extreme procrastinator.
I hate it when I procrastinate but I do. Mostly because I just don't want to do the homework or essay or project that's assigned to me. When I procrastinate I'm usually on youtube or watching tv or on my iphone. It is so easy to get sidetracked with all the technology that we have which is mostly why I procrastinate so much. Therefore, I am a procrastinator because I get sidetracked easily.
I am probably one of the worst procrastinators. The combination of a busy schedule, friends and technology, Is killer. I think we all procrastinate at one point in time in our lives. But I feel as though once we get older and we realize our responsibilities and start to fulfill them, then we will procrastinate a lot less.
I think that I procrastinated too much... It has a lot to do with the Internet and being busy. When I am too busy I tend to not be as productive with school work and the same goes for when I use the Internet. Sites like facebook YouTube eat up my time.
I procrastinate in cleaning and doing what im told to do and ill just say ill do it in a while
I put off alot of my work for the night before,this is bad because sometime i get bad grades that hurt my average. Also sometimes i dont know exactly what my project is about and that can hur my grade. There for putting work off is bad
I procrastinate on everything because I make myself think that I will have enough time to do it later. I always think that the work will be easy and that I could still do it last minute. I could do anything or nothing when I procrastinate. I would rather sit on my couch and stare out the window ( which I don't ) than do my work. Therefore, I procrastinate because I don't want to do the work.
Yes, i do consider myself a procrastinator. I procrastinate the most when i have something important or something big to do (i.e. and essay or a project). Mainly, i procrastinate with stuff i have to hand in. I procrastinate because when i have to do a big project or essay then it stresses me out so i feel that if i do it at the last minute it wont bug me as much but that is totally not true because it ends up stressing you out more. When i procrastinate i just put things off until the end like the day or two before it's due.
i defiantly think i am a procrastinator because i put off things till the last minute. for example most of the time a do a project the night before it is due and sometimes even do my homework on the bus in the morning or in the classes before. therefore i am a procrastinator because i defiantly put things off till the last second.
I would say i am a procrastinator, but i am getting better at not procrastinating because i am more focused on school. Last year when we were in june i was slacking off and doing my work at the last minute, but this june i am finishing my homework as soon as possible. Therefore i am getting better at not procrastinating.
Everyone at one point in school procrastinates. Some people do it as a habit. I do procrastinate some times. I usually procrastinate on big things like essays and projects because smaller things are easier and quicker to do. But i hope to stop procrastinating for high school.
I procrastinate a lot; especially for an essay that I need to write or a project that needs to be done. I always tell myself that I should really start the project/essay the night that I get it but I never actually do it because I just don't feel like doing it that day. When the day comes that it has to be turned in, I always have to cram it into the night before and I tell myself that I won't do it again but I always do anyways. Therefore I am a huge procrastinator because I always put off assignments till the last minute.
I think I used to procrastinate most of the time for essays or projects. I would procrastinate because I feel like I didn't need a lot of time to do something so I would wait until the night before it's due and I ended up stressing about it and wishing I did it before. But I learned that if I wait until the last minute I'm not going to get a good grade also I get to worried about doing it the night before. Therefore I am no longer a procrastinator and I get something done 2 or 3 days ahead of the due date.
I procrastinate simply because i dont want to do the assingment. For example, I procrastinate the blog posts. Every weekend i do them sunday night. Therefore, i am a procrastinator.
I would say that I am the worst at procrastinating. For example, on an essay, if we had a week to do it, I would wait to the last day. I think I do this because I just don't feel like doing the assignment, or any school work, and I'd much rather be doing something else that does not involve school. Therefore, I am a procrastinator because I wait until the last minute to do everything.
I would say that I am a procrastinator because I always put off my work to a later time because I never feel like doing it, then I just might not get it done. I procrastinate the most when it comes to school work. I am usually bored when I pull out my school work to do it but then when it's out, I look at it for ten minutes then decide not to do it and hold off until late that night. If I had a project to do and it was due in a couple of days or a week, I would do it the last two days because I can never get to it. I usually go on the computer, go outside, or watch television when I don't do the work. Therefore, I always try to not be a procrastinator but when it comes to school, that's when I procrastinate most.
i procrastinate because sometimes im to lazy or busy to do the work ahead of time
I think I am a procrastinator. I mainly procrastinate when I get home from school. I believe I must have some kinda of homework magnet on my face because I would rather prefer to surf the inter-web. I think this is because I tend to be lazy and I let temptation get the best of me. This is why I believe I am a procrastinator.
I procrastinate when I have to do homework. A lot of times I stay up late because I will get distracted form homework and go online or watch TV. I hope I can get a sense of actually caring about what I am learning in school but currently I am pretty bored.
