procrastination

[DaCoSim]

I’m honestly pretty good most of the time!!!!

 

[BetsySundrop]

Very often!

I think it's usually because i have a lot of things I'd rather be doing, so i do those things. The stuff that's not in that category can wait. Until it can't wait anymore, then it gets done quicker so i don't have to waste too much time doing stuff i don't want to do.

I find it really depends on the task im trying to complete. Most of the time I can for us and get into it but if I haven’t slept or had food I just loose my focus and doing everything else but the task.

I wanted to reply to this thread yesterday... Actually, i think I'll do it later /j
I procrastinate so much even on stuff I actually want to do. I want to do the thing, I think of how easy it will be to do, but I just... don't.

I sometimes do, but at the same time it depends on the task. I like completing some things very quickly, but then others I really seem to put off.

 

[digimon]

it depends but i normally am the type to get something done earlier if there’s a deadline. but if it’s something like a certain chore or something, i find myself falling into the habit of saying “errrm i’ll do it later”

Eh... I'll answer the poll tomorrow

Haha. Jokes aside, I'm pretty bad at procrastination but I've been trying to be better! It's not that I don't want to do the tasks. It's more so that I get overwhelmed thinking about the work that has to go into a task that makes me want to avoid it. I also get distracted by fun activities like napping or playing games or reading a book. Sometimes, I will literally do something else like clean to avoid other tasks.

I do eventually complete the tasks, even working better under pressure when the deadline approaches. Though, I do know I need to be better, especially if I get into vet school. To help, I've been trying to utilize planners and self-motivation techniques

Very often. Especially when school work is involved.

When I'm in school I tell myself I'll finish my homework right after I get home. But when I get home, I feel so drained. So I wait until the evening to actually get started. T^T

 

[Clock]

Very often and I hate it.

I try to keep a schedule and find ways to motivate myself more since I have to be serious with school and my grades.

i used to be a serial procrastinator, but my fear of it has gotten so bad TT

my new cycle is i’ll worry that i will procrastinate —> i will get the thing done super early on so i don’t have to worry anymore (i cannot enjoy even relaxing without getting work done first)

 

[Zinnia.]

i'm not very good at prioritizing things and making 'good' use of my time, so there's always something else I should be doing... even now there are a few things i'm putting off until I get enough mushrooms today :|

 

[JellyBeans]

literally just spent my entire day doing everything i can to avoid my actual work lol. and this is after moving the same one key item from my to do list across every single day. tomorrow i'll get it done.. totally

Well, if you take into account that I answered the poll about a week ago and left this in another tab to answer later kind of answers the question...

I can never make myself do work though unless I'm under some kind of pressure. Like it feels impossible to do it if it's not due for the next day, next class, I can't motivate myself enough to do anything. It gets kind of annoying when I want to do something early and not have to stress about it later, but it's the stress that makes me do it, and surprisingly well.
