Basically, are you a procrastinator?


Definition for the simple minded, straight from wiki.
Procrastination is a type of behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite procrastination as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision. Psychology researchers also have three criteria they use to categorize procrastination. They believe that procrastination must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.
For an individual, procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of personal productivity, the creation of crisis and the disapproval of others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. These combined feelings can promote further procrastination. While it is normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological or physiological disorder.

A short and sweet definition for those who are too lazy to read the long one and/or want a straightforward definition:
To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.
To postpone or delay needlessly.
Answering the question myself, even though I could get +1 postcount later :p I am a huge procrastinator. This whole thread was born from my procrastination, in fact. I'm supposed to be doing an honors outline from the hardest teacher in the school, given to us in September and due tomorrow. I put it off so many times, and even now I am, writing an unneccessarily long explanation for this thread. :33;

Let's see... I need to edit an essay to turn in tomorrow, which needs a 2-3 page response with it, PLUS a response paper for another class (although that's mostly written). And I could probably start on the 3 page paper in that class tonight, too.

And guess what I'm doing?

I'm about to go walk before it gets too dark. XD And knowing me, I'll be writing some of my NaNo novel when I get back.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

No I don't procrastinate, I like things finished and done well, so I do them when I plan to "as soon as I have some free time" and I do them well, I don't see why people put things of to the last minute, and then they don't have time to do things properly.


For those "younger", you might wanna explain procrastination in simpler words, I only knew what it was because I'm taking Psychology, the explanation you give is to complicated*Might wanna reword it*.

I'm a terrible procrastinator D: Especially with school projects. I put them off until, literally the day before they're due and just scramble to finish it right then... of course, I do that with all school work, but who's keeping count :'D

So in short, yeah, I procrastinate way too much x_x;

Oh hell yes. ;D;
Unless it's a something short and sweet I'll take forever and a half to do it.
Like those index cards for the essay I have to write in AP Global.

And instead I'm stalking forums and playing an over hyped casual MMO on a teen hangout site. :x

Dude, I have two papers due Thursday which I haven't even started on, a peer review on Turnitin of two random essays about garbage poetry, a history test tomorrow, some math homework and quiz tomorrow. I always say -rawr im not gonna be on the interwebs 2day, l8rz- but here I am.. Procrastinating. I would be the queen of procrastination. The last 6 years of my life were fueled by procrastination. It's all cute getting homework done early in elementary school, but after that, it's all lolness to ever finish anything.

I'm not sure why, but I work best when the deadline is looming right over my head. I get a lot more done that way. For example, my 4-page thesis is due tomorrow, and I'm still on my rough draft xD. I'll end up fixing it up in Study Hall, then handing it in.

I'm probably the worst procrastinator ever.
I do not just wait until the last possible day to do a project or essay, I wait till I'm just too sleepy to even want to do it. Ever seen that episode of Spongebob where he writes that essay? I'm EXACTLY like that. XD

Hahaha. Procrastinator would be quite the understatement for me. :P

I've been getting better at it lately, though, mostly because community college sucks (a lot) and I really need to get to a regular university and have the college experience.

On the usual, I put things off till the day before (yay election as an excuse to stay up and finish a freshman seminar paper! >_>)

I'm actually procrastinating as we speak. I'm supposed to be studying for an important History test tomorrow but I'm too caught up in the election. But I'm watching history in the making, so that counts as studying... right?

I'm guilty of procrastination. I procrastinated on homework and reports, I procrastinate on pictures, cleaning up, going out, replying to an email.

I'm not THAT bad in certain places though. Sometimes I act right on the spot.

Yes, I procrastinate way too much, unfortunately. Take today for example: I need to write two papers, draw a character for my Game Design class, clean the apartment for company tomorrow, and exercise. I usually end up having a lot to do at once since I put things off, which is a horrible idea, or habit rather. I think, for some people, procrastinating is what leads to serious health issues.

I think just about everyone who has a life online is a first-class procrastinator.

I also think that answers your question.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Oh yeah. Im a very bad procrastinater. I tend to put off assignment untill the last day the assignment is due. Being in college, I learned that procrastination will be my downfall, so my habits of it changed and I do my work earlier.

I'm horrible. :| Like, really bad; seriously. I'm failing school because I procrastinate so much. It's nothing to be proud of.

In English, I still need to hand in a short story we were suppose to write, a ballad that needed to be in last month, a SmartNotebook presentation, a couple 'To Kill a Mockingbird' worksheets, and a mini iMovie presentation. In civics, I have a Global Issue assignment that was do last month and another Global Issue assignment that's due tomorrow; no lie. I won't even begin to decide Science and CommTech.

But I guess it's not that bad. I mean, I've been this way all my life, and somehow, I always manage to pass with flying colors. It's the one, crucial assignment that I'll decide to actually complete. But whatever; woe is me and such, I guess. XD;

I'm a very very bad procrastinator. I love to put things off, and I love to put things off to the very very last min (to send in my stuff to go vote... I was 3 mins from the deadline. That's putting it off). I could have gotten my license when I was 16... next month I'll be 20. So yea, I love putting things off. XD
