i guess this really ties onto my last thread but is a bit of a completely different topic as well. am i the only one who actually starts doing his work/whatever needs to get done after they've despaired hard and long enough to where you don't really feel sad anymore?? am i going insane? because this is literally the fourth time it's happened this year where it was pretty bad. am i the only one who does this?
If it makes you feel better, three years ago, I started a 2,000 word essay the day before it was due. What was worse was that it was due at midnight, so I didn't get the benefit of those extra 7 hours before school started. I actually handed it in a few minutes after midnight, but my teacher didn't seem to care / notice. I had some research done already, in my defense, so I hadn't completely procrastinated. These days, I'd be more likely to just get the projects over with as soon as I get them.
Speaking of, it's now 5:00am and I spent most of the night up finishing two essays and about five other papers (last day to turn them in without getting a "0"). Procrastinating is something I really want to get over, but I don't seem to have the effort or intrinsic motivation needed to do so. You're not alone.
You're not alone, I almost always do my work at the very last minute. One time I pulled a complete design project outta my ass, lost many hours of sleep. I've been trying really hard to stop this annoying habit and hopefully one day soon.
i procrastinate everything all the time constantly :/ i do work pretty well under pressure though, so it doesn't bother me too much.
I am a PROcrastinator. I woke up at 5am nope, ignored the alarm so 7am in order to get my problem set done before it was due at 10:30. Thursday/Fridays are killer for me, since everything is due then. I have pulled several all nighters this semester (which I really hate doing). I also turned in a 15 page paper two days late for 10% off. It was better than rushing and giving shoddy quality. Plus it was 10% off 50%, so it's not that bad. I didn't see that one coming (thought it was due two weeks later), so while there was some procrastination, I didn't mean to. It sucks, though. I always start the semester out ahead and around this time it all falls apart. Spring break screws me over so hard. I blame the internets... any my roommate (he is blamed for everything wrong in the world =P)
I'm a terrible procrastinator; it gets worse if I have no interest in doing the work. Most of my work has been finished 2 hours before the deadline, and that 2 hour finish is only because I have to commute to campus to hand in the darn things. If I could do electronic hand in only, gosh, I'd be terrible. As with the above poster, I start out well. Everything in on time, everything done beautifully, excellent comments on my work... then the deadlines pile up and I adopt the "head in sand" view. I really shouldn't do this right now, as I have 3 papers in for the same day, but ... I will :/. Just to make myself feel a little better, I always make sure the work is done for the due date. I never hand anything in late, I hate to think that I've cheated myself out of marks for anything other than the quality of my work :/.
