    Rushing and trying to hurry with any task is wrong and imprudent, that is what scheduling is for -- to be able to do the tasks in a timely and prudent manner.

Therefore, since procrastination is confused with another term and is not a necessary act, the conclusion cannot be…

    The author's main message of this article is to explain to the non-procrastinators of the world what goes on in the heads of procrastinator's and why we are this way. The author had a hypothesis which was that the brains of procrastinators are different from the people who are not.

    Life is an everlasting journey of growth and development. In order to grow we must first admit to our faults, and stop engaging in behaviors that hinder us from becoming a better version of ourselves. Self- destructive tendencies plagues our society, and it’s easy to become discouraged by the hate and malicious behaviors inflicted on civilians from law enforcement officers. The mass media only covers half of the story, and the likelihood of the story being the truth, is slim to none. Ever since I could remember, I have always had a passion for helping others.…
