Procrastinators UNITE!

I have a degree in this very proffession. I took "procrastonology" at Harvard.

 

"You are the perfectionist procrastinator.
Perfectionists fear failure or not doing a good enough job. They suffer from too high standards. Lest it be less than perfect, perfectionists have trouble starting or finishing a project. However, if the procrastinator does not get an "A," the fact that he or she did not give him or herself enough time to properly do the project excuses the procrastinator from not having done a perfect job. "If I had started earlier..." is a common lament from the perfectionist trying to excuse him or herself"


hahah so true

 

I used to do all my assignments the morning they were do in the hall before class. No joke.

Comes in handy in business actually. Well the ability to improvise and produce results when time has already literally run OUT. The lack of planning probally isn't great

Gotta hybridize for true success. Plan the things that matter, don't over-analyze, keep moving forward, and IMPROVISE AS A MATTER OF DAILY COURSE.

 

Apparently I'm a Defier/rebel

Your procrastination type is the defier, also known as the rebel. Defiers like to break the rules and rebel against chores and other assignments given to them. They take offense when given tasks by other people and are insulted by suggestions to change their habits. Rebelling is a normal thing that teens do to test how much power they have over their lives, but it can go past the common testing of rules and limits when some people "get stuck in the mode of rebelling."
As I'm now 38 I guess I'm more than stuck. I think I should probably start making a list.



Ok. I'll do that tomorrow.

 

Unite? ...maybe later.

 

Had a CHM exam for uni past Monday. I started studying for it at around 4am (exam was at 8am). Since I had to leave th ehouse by 7am, that meant stopping review by 6.30am. Yea, sometimes I do incredibly insane things.... Best part? I still managed to pull off a 72%

 

It says I am ADD, because of the focus and sidetrack questions. But it is so hard when I do my homework in front of my pc with F-chat calling my name.

 

Just got around to reading this thread.
I always said that being a procrastinator in school was invaluable in training me to work under pressure later in life.

 

Says I'm ADD.

Oh god, somebody please save me from this awful disease that makes me do whatever I want whenever I want and make a quarter mil a year at it! Oh jesus somebody drug me up so I don't have to live this terrible life!

 

I keep ignoring this thread hoping it would go away and not require my input.

I started to write a reply but got distracted by cleaning up the mess from the 4th of July.

Then I didn't know what to write.

I wrote a reply but decided it wasn't funny.

So then I wrote this.

 

Yup got my last final of the semester tomorrow, then senior slide can begin. Its AP European History too so its gonna be tough and i havent even cracked a book yet. Its ok though cause i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to Geico.

 

I intended to respond to the initial post back in December, and I'm just now getting around to it.












I'm an overdoer. You wouldn't believe the s*** I've done between the 20th and now...

 

Yeah...i have 2 finals that i need to do tomarrow plus regular homework to do. I have yet to open the back pack and it's getting late... Instead of making my future look brighter I am on here talking to yall

 

Harvard called and asked me to teach Pro422 (that's the art and integration of procrastination in modern day society).
I am a reallllly good procrastinator.

 

"Procrastinators UNITE!"

Ummm, can we do this tomorrow?

 

Wow this is a perfect thread.

Does anyone else when questioned of your procrastination problem use the excuse I work better under pressure?

Its so hard not to procrastinate.

 

Well the books are closed, gettin in to school early too to have a cram session. Gotta love the cram sessions.

 

I just tell myself: "Hard work may pay off eventually, but procrastination always pays off NOW."

 

I'll unite later, maybe in a week or so , I would have posted here earlier but, well ya know

 

I have a serious problem with procrastination. It kind of pisses me off because my grades (while still ok) are not perfect like I am used to because I procrastinate so much. In high school it didn't matter because all I needed to was show up to get A's but in college it is a bit different.

I am starting to think that I have some sort of ADD problem. I am thinking about trying adderall to see if it helps me (I have heard some wonder stories) but don't know if I will be able to get it / if I actually have ADD or if it is bad to be on it long term (I imagine I would get very strung out).

For finals last semester I pulled 4 all-nighters in 8 days, most of them trying to learn 1/2 a semester's worth of material in 12 hours or something before a test. My best one was the last night, where I had to finish a Differential Equations project and an accounting paper. I started somewhere between 9 PM - 11 PM. I finished the accounting paper at 8 AM, finished the Diff. Eq. project at 8:30, proofread the accounting paper by 8:45, packed all of my stuff including golf clubs by 9:10, was picked up at 9:15, went to school, turned it all in, was at the airport by 10:30 for my 12:00 flight - Houston->Detroit->Frankfurt->Cairo, that ended up being a 4:00 flight from Houston->Frankfurt with a connection that got cancelled. I eventually did get to Cairo, although I was very, very tired and slept for about 24 hours with a few 15 minute waking sessions every 5-6 hours (literally).

 

I was going to post on this thread when it first started, but I put it off too long. Now I'm on the third page of posts.
