Is cramming a skill or a bad habbit?

We've all done it! We've crammed for projects, tests, and whatever things we have to do. So the question now is "Is cramming a blessing or is it a curse?"

I think it can be both. At times, when we know we're given a lot of time to do something, we tend to put it off until we were left with little time. As for me, cramming works for me most of the time because thinking that I only have a few hours to finish my task gives my brain that signal to process things faster. As a result, I create much better projects compared to the ones I created ahead of time. Cramming may be a skill or a bad habit -- I guess it's a case to case basis. As long as we can do the assigned task good, then it's all good.

yeah that's how i see it too. But in the long term do you think it will help or will it become more of a burden?

well.. cramming is good if done for different subjects . cramming in maths is totally impossible, in science it should be done , in s,st and language subjects its OK but we should make it a habit..

Cramming is a bad habit that results by putting aside what we can do today for tomorrow. I think we can prevent this to happen if we just organize our daily routine. Good day!

I think that cramming is indeed a bad habit but I do admit that I am a crammer most of the time! :) I think I still need to work on my time-managent skills.
