How come some of us procastinate?

Hi.. As you know I am a procrastinator or a crammer myself. Ive been like this all my life. When I was a kid, I love to play and so play would always come first before the work. Unfortunately, this mindset has been sort of 'engraved' into me after all these years. During elementary and high school, cramming would seem to be the only option. I can say this because the school's standards are higher than average and they tend to equate high standards to high amounts of homework, schoolwork, and extra curricular work. So most deadlines would just overlap but those are rare and are preferred actually because at least there would be time to do both work. But what usually happens is that when work is given, they expect it to be done the next day or the next meeting. In college, the habit just carried over from high school so I just tend to relax first and then 'panic' later. Though, through the years of experience in cramming, its usually when most of my best work comes out. Historically speaking, to answer your question I think the procrastination attitude especially in our country comes from the Spanish colonizers, through the introduction of "maniana habit". Sad thing is that up to now most of us cant break it.

In college, especially senoir year, I was feeling burnt out. I just wanted to be done already. I was a procrastinator and wish I had good advise how not to be one. I muttled my way threw it.

Well there are times that I do and times that I don't. It really depends on how I feel and if I'm in the mood. Like now my desk is such a mess because we are arranging stuff because we are moving out of office. Well sometimes even though how motivated I am, I just can;t start if things are really out of place and disorganized.

Even though i haven't gone to college at present,i also have the same experience. when i was at school,i like doing the project.while,at present,i often feel that the project is boring.in my opinion,the reason is that you need relax.
