Procrastination

[Wolf Kanno]

So I'm suppose to be working on a 10-15 page research paper for one of my classes, instead:

When was the last time you procrastinated doing something important?

[Ayen]

Just this past week I was posting on here and browsing the internet when I should have been working on my review.

That's every week, though.

I procrastinate on writing related things. Editing, writing, reviewing, whatever. It just takes so much time to just sit and work on something, I can't multi-task when I do it so it frustrates me to not wanting to do it. Most anytime you see an article out of me is because I have to force procrastination away.

I don't have much time after work to do much due to my schedule so I avoid doing things like the plague. Which is why everything gets done at the last minute when I force myself to do something.

Right this moment I have a presentation to prepare in 18 hours

Usually at work if I am given a task that isn't too time sensitive I'll procrastinate a bit not to be a jerk or take advantage of a situation, but I find it helps clear my head and perform what I am asked even better.

For more personal stuff? Yeah, I suck. I have a YouTube channel that has a lot of silly short edited vids and other assorted stuff that has been piling up for the past few years. I want to do something more expansive, but my lack of confidence, lack of time, and general procrastination usually makes me forget about it all the time.

Right now; I am responding to this instead of writing my textual analysis.

[Jiro]

The great thing about my field(s) is that everything counts as research. :jiro:

[Shorty]

Perhaps my worst quality. I have actively been trying to improve lately.

[Quindiana Jones]

No, you have far worse qualities. :tongue:

[Shorty]

Do go on. :greenie:

[Ayen]

I'm procrastinating playing StarCraft II. Vivi and Pike will not be pleased.

[Wolf Kanno]

I have six more hours to get this paper done... 52971

[Pike]

Ever since signing up for HabitRPG at the start of the year I've REALLY improved when it comes to not procrastinating. I know I have to get my list of things done in any given day or I won't get buffed the next day which means I won't get as much experience. Turning your life into an RPG is the best motivation ever.

I mean, I still procrastinate, but not nearly as much.

(I do spend entirely too much time at places like Buzzfeed and Cracked :redface:)

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I waited until today to get my taxes filed. Because, you know, reasons.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I procrastinated all the time in college. It got worse every year I was there to the point that I ended up doing my final assignment for student teaching the day before it was due (30,000 words or so written in one day, the morning of the assignment/presentation spent making my display board and preparing the book/presentation, and then giving the actual presentation over and over from 4pm til 6pm after not sleeping for something like 40 hours or so at that point if I remember right).

I have been procrastinating a bunch of writing projects lately thanks to my PS4 and working on other things in my life.

[Wolf Kanno]

Paper done with 15 minutes to spare. What should I ignore doing next?

[Miss Mae]

Currently procrastinating practicing my presentation for class. It's due in an hour and a half. Should probably practice it at least once before now and then. Probably.

this sounds like it could be a thing I could do

[Ayen]

I'm posting on the forum when I should be going to bed.

[Jiro]

update: HabitRPG helped me get like three things done already

[Pike]

I always do my taxes in Jan/Feb, because REFUND.

[Drift]

everyday at work i'll be on imgur. It's pretty bad I should do something more productive with my time...

[Dat Matt]

I am pretty good just now. I am day behind on my studying, which is better than normal.

It does happen a lot though, for example, I am awful at cleaning. I'll just keep putting stuff off until I HAVE to clean something or i'll go mad.

[Leeza]

Pike, thank you for letting us know about HabitRPG. That just might be fun and add incentive. Of course I also just spent the last half hour playing with it instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing. :)

At the very least, I can set up a really good detailed to-do list in there. :cat:

[noxious.sunshine]

I should be cleaning and having a shower.

Not happening just yet.

I'll wait until the last minute and then tweaker clean everything.

[theundeadhero]

I have a 100 question take-home biology test not done yet and due in a few hours. I'm making this post.

[Renmiri]

I'll answer this thread tomorrow, ok ?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Dang. I was getting really hyped about habitrpg after read this threads comments.

Then I looked it up and saw it's a phone app :(

I think i've procrastinated long enough when it comes to getting a phone that's not basic.

I'm using the browser version?

You can totally use it online - that's where I use it. I've found the phone app to be a bit of a pain on my iPhone anyway. Don't let your phone discourage you from trying it out because I find its to do lists really helpful.

[Kalevala]

I've just started using it, as well. This is great! Feels sort of like Fitocracy.

Interesting, I still have a week and half left of school and finals week left and I am actually finished with all but one of my final projects. This could only mean one thing...

This happens every time I miraculously pass a course. I end up goofing off for a whole week when I should have spent that week doing assignments... at least then I could spend the rest of the week goofing. I've always found I can't work at all unless I'm under severe pressure to finish quick.

Ah, I see. I just didn't read the page clearly :shobon:
