    Angry Curse it!

    Why is it that I can type out so many words daily on Facebook, Twitter, on here, in #eoff and on other sites a day...

    But yet a smurfing 2000 word essay is taking me SO LONG TO WRITE
    And I have no motivation.

    CURSES!

    I hate procrastination.
    Are you a bad procrastinator? Or can you, like, actually do stuff without distraction?

    I am a terrrrible offender when it comes to procrastination. I was supposed to order cakes for our Halloween party two weeks ago and put it off and off until I finally did it this morning. (eep!) Thankfully everything went smoothly.

    I always roll the dice like that with time management and I shouldn't... but I don't care.

    I usually have this thing where I will start something ASAP, and then ignore it until shortly before it needs to be done. I'm like a half procrastinator.

    I believe it's called "focusing." Or something. I'm very good at it, susprisingly... when sober.

    What's your essay on? I'm an infuriating procrastinator because I love my subject, but I always leave my essays till It's pushing on too late, and then when I do start them I always kick myself because I wish I'd given myself more time to do research and actually do myself justice because I'm really good at essays. It's a horrid argument I have with myself every time.

    i never really had to write essays, but i had projects/tests a lot. they all involved an all-nighter to finish the project or study for the test right before. and i kicked ass in school so it worked

    I am a horrible, horrible procrastinator. I can't motivate myself to do a lot of things until the very last minute, when I'm rushed to get everything done. The fact that I work very quickly only feeds my tendency to procrastinate.

    I miss high school and college workloads, where I could do any assignment or required studying in one day. It was more difficult to procrastinate in law school, but I still managed to do far less work in far less time than many of my classmates.

    I have issues with focus sometimes, but it turned out that coincided to my blood sugar plummeting, so I've gotten into a habit of keeping fruit and nuts around my desk to keep me alert. Coffee always helps, too.

    Generally I'm really good about not procrastinating. I just hate the stressful feeling of being rushed. I'd rather take things on in manageable chunks.

    It's on the very thrilling subject of 'Surveillance Society' created by CCTV and new media technologies.

    I wish I could say I was interested in it a bit more....

    That is an interesting subject. Especially if you heap insults on the UK government for that crap.

    Article abuse. Abuse every small word possible. Make your text needlessly flowery. If you're skilled and subtle, the words will magically appear.

    Oh I can manage the essay alright, I have my essay writing down. It's just the doing part.
    Well, I've hit 1000 words and put in some really big bits that need examples adding to them tomorrow. I'll have it done by Friday I hope.
