    At the same time that procrastination allows me to excel with the rush of adrenaline it provides, it can also place excess pressure on me which can lead to an overall lack of quality in my end product. Often times, as pressure increases, the quality decreases proportionately. I feel that I have come to realize through a few failures in school and during my athletic endeavours that when the quality of the end product matters, procrastination is not the ideal choice. As you work on a task that is of high priority or it’s your first time doing something, waiting to the last minute prevents you from being able to take control of the final end product effectively. If you have to deliver a big speech, have an important interview, or have a championship game to play in, placing yourself under the excess pressure from procrastinating will eventually lead to failure.…

    My purpose for managing my time was so I would do better this semester in school without becoming stressed. I wanted to get ahead in my work because I had a tendency to procrastinate on my school work. In the article “Dynamic Interplay of Depression, Perfectionism and Self-Regulation on Procrastination by Ozera, O’Callaghanb, Bokszczaninc, Edererd and Essaub stated that there is a relationship between not being self- regulated and procrastinating (2014).

They also said that perfectionism leads to depression but the person has such high standards that they put off the assignment (2014).…

    Dan Ariely wrote “ We have problems with self-control, related to immediate and delayed gratification, no doubt there. But each of the problems we face has potential self- control mechanisms, as well” (146). This means that all of us deal with problems with procrastination, but it can be for different reasons.

    Do you find yourself frantically searching for your keys or the shoes you swore you kicked off in the living room just last night? Do you promise yourself each day as you walk out the door that when you return back home, you will finally tackle that disturbing mess you just left behind only to return home tired and so far removed from the early morning panic that you don't do anything but add to it? You kick off a second pair of shoes and the cycle continues. Procrastination and disorganization go hand in hand and the consequences are more serious than just being late for work. Low levels of stress from nagging thoughts, such as guilt and shame, are associated with chronic disorganization.…

Whether it be that project you were given two weeks to complete or getting ready the final minutes before you have to leave as opposed to the hour you had beforehand, you still managed to put it off until the last minute. I personally am plagued by the thing called procrastination and can't help myself from falling down the never ending rabbit hole that is putting things off.…

    Procrastination “Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.” This quote was written by Christopher Parker, and it is a great explanation of what procrastination leads to. If important requirements get pushed off for so long the outcome is ten times more stressful and harder to work for. This is a trait that I have acquired over my high school career and has lead to many stressful outcomes. As I’ve gotten older the expectations have gotten higher and the work has gotten harder.…

    As Ferrari said, 20% of the American population are chronic procrastinators, but according to a study to examined by a student attending the University of York and a freelance journalist, Milana Knezevic (2012), over 70% of students exhibit procrastination. Through Knezevic’s article, Dr. Piers Steel, a professor at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne and an expert on human motivation and on why people but things off, says, “in your early 20s you’re still developing your pre-frontal cortex, home of the will power” (p. 1). The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain responsible for things such as planning, personality development, and many other complex behaviors. Knezevic uses his finding to argue that the “closer [someone] is to temptation of fun, the more likely [they] are to indulge. In other words, when given the opportunity to do something else more entertaining, the person is more likely to push off their important tasks to have fun.…
