Does anyone else have a bad case of it? I am awful. This is a habit that I severely want to break. As a college student, it's bad for me to do.

    I agree with you that it is bad, but it's not bad if you are clutch and can come through with something well thought out at the end of the day. I was always good at putting together some form of bs, whether it be in high school, college or the real world today.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Have a paper due at 2 PM today on T.S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land" that was assigned three weeks ago. Just read the poem for the first time a couple hours ago. Good thing the paper only has to be 3-5 pages.

    HUGE procrastinator here :D I find I do it to stall from doing something that might be difficult or daunting. If you recognize why you are doing it, you might be able to minimize it. I have to make deals with myself. "No Suziemay, no internet time until you cross off 5 things from your to-do list". :D

    :lol: Love this. I procrastinate also sometimes--especially when it's something I don't want (but need) to do..probably the worst time to do it. Usually I clean house instead..it's a good outlet, but doesn't get the main things accomplished. Have to make myself.

    I shamelessly say I am a master at procrastination. And I don't mind. Things eventually get done. I know what I have to do, when I have to do it by and how long it will take - so I do it in my own good time (unless something a bit more exciting comes up!) :mrgreen:

    I fell asleep around 4 writing the paper...with only one sentence done. I've already worked an alibi on why I will be late/not going to class today.

    That's what I need to do.
    I'm also a master at coming up with excuses. I don't think you should be hard on yourself all the time but at some point if it's significantly affecting your life, you just have to break the cycle. Don't think about doing something, just do it. Once you take action, you will feel better about yourself and you're going to want to do more. Just got to break the cycle :)

    I know I should really stop procrastinating because it's so stressful to get things done at the last second. But, I do some of my best work under stress.
