My Procrastinate Problem

Improved Essays
"Why do I even procrastinate?" I ask myself this question everyday. This is a problem in my everyday life. In fact, it 's a problem in most people 's lives. In my life i have heard many elderly folks comment "Those kids are so lazy, they procrastinate all the time" This comment is not only arrogant but it 's also false. People don 't realize that many teens hold a stable job while being a full time student. There are just some of us that don 't feel the need to do homework right when we are supposed to. It doesn 't mean we are lazy it 's that we get caught up in social media, friends, etc. Procrastination is a way of life, although it may have negative outcomes it doesn 't mean an individual is lazy when dealing with this. Procrastination is a problem that has gotten me no where. I feel as if homework is too difficult …show more content…
The first way I can solve this crisis is by doing my homework ahead of time. Instead of having an assignment due the next day it would be nice to have all of my homework done for the next week or so. Looking at a class syllabus is a good tool because I can find out what the class will be doing for the class, and I can always start early on them. The second solution would be, writing down all of my homework in an agenda so that I know what needs to be done, and so i don 't forget about all of the important homework that will affect my grade immensely. This would be a great way to keep track of everything, and become more organized also. Writing the right homework down is important, so paying attention in class would be a good strategy for me also. A final way to solve my problem would be by scheduling a time after school and before work to get my school work done instead of watching television, or playing games because nothing is more important than school work. Doing my homework right when i get home would be a good way to avoid procrastination. Eating a snack is a good way to get my brain

    The key term of the lecture held on October 13th 2015 during the Freshman Seminar by McGill Counselling Services is “Overcoming Procrastination”. The entire lecture can be classified into three main parts: the behaviors of procrastination, the side effects of procrastination and solutions to the issue. Firstly, the counsellor lists several behaviors that fully represent the element of procrastination such as “Holiday myths”, “Tomorrow Paradigm”, and “Contingencies”. The elements mentioned above are typical characteristics among most of the procrastinating students. Secondly, the side effects of procrastination are failure in both academics and social life since one’s life is not systematically scheduled.…

    Have you ever been a victim of procrastination? More than likely, it’s safe to say that everyone has procrastinated at some point in time. For some, however, this tends to become a habit. In “This Was Supposed to Be My Column for New Year’s Day”, by John Tierney, and “The Procrastination Doom Loop--and How to Break It”, by Derek Thompson, opposite opinions are shown in an attempt to defend their beliefs. Thompson’s, however, appeared as more accurate.…

    I need to focus on my school work and not on any distractions. If I focus on other things other than my school work then I won’t get anything done. Someone once asked me what respect meant to me, well respect means you are not rude to anyone especially teachers and elders. Being respectful doesn’t mean you help a classmate one time, it means respect what others has to say, not being rude,and doing what you are told to do.…

    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.…

    Author and blogger, Tim Urban in his 2016 TED talk, “Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator”, argues that everyone is a procrastinator. Urban’s purpose is to explain in order to prove his final point that everyone is a procrastinator to some degree. Urban explains to the general public everyone is a procrastinator. He is surely right about this; that everyone, to some degree, procrastinates because, as he may not be aware, recent studies have shown that 20% of the United States population are chronic procrastinators. With procrastination also comes many bad effects such as controlling of emotions such as feelings of guilt and stress.…

    Procrastinators disassociate themselves with their future self or believe that the present self is worse off doing the work. Even though we will eventually be forced to a single outcome, we still delay the inevitable for no actual reason. We have a false belief of happiness now being better than happiness later. The fact that people will go out of their way to avoid doing something so measly as the dishes astonishes me. As the dishes pile up, it gets less desirable to clean them until you’re eating cereal out of Tupperware with a serving spoon.…

    I could actually have a life then instead of doing homework all day. I could participate in extracurricular activities like I used to when I participated in lacrosse, but now I can’t because my grades are slipping due to not finishing homework! I could do fun things instead of homework because it keeps me cooped up inside like a prisoner in a penitentiary cell and I hate it (“Too Much Homework, Too Little Time”, pg. 2)!” In conclusion, there are many reasons why students do not…

    Time Management Term Paper

    1. Time Management - I have been terrible at time management my whole life, ever since I can remember. One of the reasons I believe that I am bad at time management is that I tend to procrastinate too much, especially when it comes to school and school work such as studying and doing homework. I tend to just watch videos such as Netflix or Youtube, or play video games to pass the time so that I don’t have to do or think about my responsibilities of school or work and because of that, the time I have to do other stuff is limited and not as much as I would like. The main way I plan to combat this problem is keep to a strict schedule and keep a planer to know what I need to get done at a specific time on any given day.…

    Procrastination is like drinking wine. If you have one glass of wine with your dinner, you feel great about yourself, but if you’re downing bottles each night then you’re considered an alcoholic. I’m a procrastinator. I always have been and will most likely continue to be one for the remainder of my life. I love the adrenaline rush when I’m running out of time to finish something, resulting in the need to drive and push myself to the limit to finish something.…

    From the very moment I procrastinated, I knew that the only result ahead was a failure. When attending a school you are always told to plan ahead of time by being organized. However, I always preferred handling my academic work at a snail 's pace. Simply said, I procrastinated leaving everything to the last minute. For some people, being under pressure they tend to produce better results, but on the contrary that is never always the case.…

    First, when it's time for me study I make sure to turn any device that is distracting me, I turn my laptop off and put my phone on complete silence and face it down. When studying I make sure to re-read my notes and make sure not to overwhelm myself and take the information that I am studying little by little, so that I do not stress myself too much. I make sure to take breaks and not just study for and hour straight. Then, when it comes to doing homework I always do…
