Procrastinator of The Year
As I finish up this last blog, being basically done with everything else, I keep asking myself why I procrastinated so hard this year. I know it was more work than Eastham's summer assignment, which I got done with like a month early, but I still feel like I could've completed this year's assignment way sooner. Some people say that they're busy doing other activities with their sport or family vacations. Then there's me, who has cheer practice at 6:00a.m, which gives me most of the day to work on the assignment you would think right? Well no. I came home after practice, shower, and sleep, not even thinking about the homework. I mean of course I went out most of the time, but there were so many days where I sat in my house watching movies, on my phone, or eating. I procrastinate because I imagine the assignment being 10 times harder than what is really is, when in reality, it clearly wasn't. For some reason, another thing that set me back was coming on the blog, seeing people started blogging in like May, and then not knowing what to blog about so I just log off. It's like I was overwhelming myself and stressing myself out. How do you guys handle procrastination and why do you think you procrastinate?

I can definitely agree with you Lauren. I feel like I am the worst procrastinator. I have plenty of time but I am lazy and I thought it was going to be a whole load of work too. I had summer practice for basketball and I used that for an excuse even though it only took up two hours of my day. So when are coaches gave us a month off I could have worked, but I still procrastinated. Honestly I always procrastinate I try to change, and start my work early, but most of the time I still wait to do the work. I tend to work twice as hard to finish stuff at the last minute, so that motivates me to not procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteLauren I can totally relate to you on this matter. I actually lost count of how many comments I've written on this blog so I am just commenting on everything to be sure I get eight comment. I'm done with my conversations, and I procrastinated on keeping track of my comments. This year, I plan to work in this terrible habit I have for procrastinating.
ReplyDeleteI heavily agree with this. Procrastination has been a major problem for me this summer because there was so much homework that I didn't even know where to begin. I would think about the homework but continue to put it off continuing to think that I will have plenty of time to finish it. In my mind, I would usually think "I have time I'll just do it tomorrow" or "I'll work on it in a few", forgetting that so much time was passing as I just sat on my butt. So in reality, it's my fault for being so stressed because of how I waited and waited. I honestly thought that time wouldn't go by as fast as it did and at this point I wish I could get just a little note of it. Everyday this week, I would wake up doing homework and go to sleep at like 3am. I think my time could've been managed more properly this summer.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I have been procrastinating a lot this summer! Its not that I did not want to do the work, its that a lot of things came up such as friends wanting to hang out or my mom just wanting to use me for the carpool lane. I kept telling her I should be at home doing homework but the mall is something I just cannot turn down. I had a lot of fun early this summer, but I am ending it with stress. I can say I am glad to be completed with most of my work for this class. I would wake up every morning and work all the way until eleven at night. I have not left the house for anything expect practice lately and I am so happy to be completed with this work. I wish I could have managed my time better!
ReplyDeleteI agree with procrastinating to the last minute. I honestly do attend to, but life always has its interferences. Stress has been a big part of my life for the past Christmas. I had to just mange though. I still do not undressing why I didn't push myself to stay on time. Even though I started in the beginning of July, I still wanted late.
