[imported_goku]

Ugh, since middle school I have been known to procrastinate. Always doin things at the last second, exception to this rule is usually really big projects worth a quite a bit of my grade. So it' sophmore year in college now and apparently I am still surviving but I'm wonder waddya do when you want to work but you find procrastination so much easier? Tis easier to say Just do it then actually done, infact I'm procrastinating right NOW! Tips, advice, do you have the same problem too?

You procrastinating is not unique, everyone procrastinates, no one cares.

yes, but they did not give it to him, so he spammed ATOT with messages about how the mods suck and posted gay pr0n

I want my life!!!

In order to get it, I will ban myself from this forum, and every other forum on the internet.

By the way, AT Moderators can lick my balls!!!

Yeah, you guys suck and are completely immature, and like to play E-boss,

I remember one of you %%^$$ sending an email saying that you'd ban me if I made another YAGT thread. well I just did, so nows your chance.

According to this site you can make your %%% bigger.

Do you think this would help me get with the babes?

Setup your own e-mail server and adjust the server clock accordingly.

I always procrastinated in high school and college as well. I'm weird though, because even if I would sit down way in advance and try to write a paper or something I couldn't. But when I only had one or two days or nights left to write it I could kick out 10+ page papers in one sitting. I just work a lot better under pressure so procrastination always worked for me.

2 tests tommorow, still haven't studied for one. The class where I procrastinated the most was definetly psych. For some reason (perhaps not so surprisingly) I put off writing papers forever. I think three out of four of my papers were turned in late. The teacher gave us two free extensions though and he forgot to mark the third one late so it turned out all right Ironically, one of my papers was about procrastination (that was the one that wasn't late luckily). Research in the field isn't too surprising. Basically there are four main mindsets: mastery orientation, performance-approach orientation, performance-avoidance orientation, work-avoidance orientation. The first one is good in preventing procrastination as you don't really care about the end result, you just want to make yourself better. Performance approach people look to get good grades, performance avoidance look to avoid bad grades, and work avoidance just don't want to do work So trying to fix your procrastination will be difficult as it would take something of an overhaul of your whole work mindset. GL anyways, I still haven't kicked my procrastination habit

Double post somehow...

If someone finds a cure for it, lemme in on it...but on the same note, I have all my homework done except for my 4 hour lecture class.

With that said who the hell assigns 8 disscussion questions (2-3 paragraphs an answer), 3 Analysis questions (they ask for a 2 page paper on each) and a Real world case study (2-3 page paper on that).

SERIOUSLY...WTF?!?

Same here. Back in high school I remember I had a full 3 page essay due. I spent about 40 minutes on it during the class right before and I ended up with an 88%. I also had the highest grade for that essay LOL.

I got like 6 more weeks until break. But then I got winter break (week and a half or so) and then IAP (independent activities period which lasts for a month and you can do whatever the hell you want)

I hate you

I'll be back later.

drink some beer or apple cider, it'll make you want to study. if not, have a shot of something. after a while, you'll have forgotten what you even needed to get done, hence you're not procrastinating as you're not consciously putting it off.

Heh back in HS, I think freshman year I had about a month to do a paper on the possibilty of Cellphone radiation and in the first 2 weeks I slacked off and took some note on the topic during class but got C's on the 4 mini papers (they were also part of the project) then I had 2 weeks to work in the mac lab on the PPT but since i hated macs (still do) I just ditched it so the night right before the project was due (due next morning) I created a 25 Page PPT from scatch and did some more research and crap to put add in PPT had all the stuff and turned it in. It took me all night to do it but I did it, I got the grade a few weeks later and it was a C, I was very pissed so I came up to the teacher and asked him why I had a C, he looked it up and it turns out I had a solid A on the project but those damn 4 sheets that were for takin notes that I did a sloppy job is what caused my grade to be a C. Total Bull but what ever....
