Time fly very fast.It does not wait for you there.Once it pass by,it does not return to the time that we wish to go back.Although you have a proper well done time arrangement,you will still procrastinate something right?You tend to feel that is alot of time to settle up the matter.When the due date arrived, you started to get tension and feel regret.You will tell yourself that "I should start early this job,not wait until last minute" or "I will begin my matters early so that I can finish it by the due date". However, it does not use.Most people tend to be a procrastinator.I won't say that I am not a procrastinator.I am...How to overcome this problem?I have been procrastinating my projek for over a month.The due date will arrive soon.Not because I don't want to start it, but I feel lazy to do it.Or maybe because I don't have any guidance there.

Ugh...yes...I am procrastinating right now and I hate it. I have a bunch of things to do for my son's wedding next month and I just keep putting them off. Then when I am down to the deadline I will be in a frenzy. It is so stupid to do this to myself. Some days I am more motivated than others to get things accomplished, but lately it has not been that way. I wish I had an answer for why this is...but I don't...it's just the way it is right now.

No, I am not a procastinator. If I knew that something is important and it must be done to immediately, I will act upon it without hesitation. Time is precious and I do not like to waste it. Procrastination is another form of being lazy for which is really I hate very much.

Oh this happens to me a lot. I am a procrastinator. :( I tend to procrastinate a lot during weekends since I know I have all day to do what I want. I try to remind myself to do the laundry on a Saturday morning but everytime I wake up on a Saturday, I just put it off till Sunday morning. Argh. It's really not good though. I ought to be able to follow through with what I had planned.

i am not a procrastinator... i see to it that i handle and do things at an early time for me not to be toxic when due date comes... that being an early bird seems very relaxing because you don't have too much worries and able to prepare in whatever things you are making or doing...
when the dealine is near it is just a matter of preparation and reviewing what i had made and patch only those corrections... no need for total changes and that would not make me toxic anymore...

I can be. I definitely can be. I'm often thinking about what I could have done and what needed to be done and wasn't. But at the same time, I'm not really worried about much. I like doing things at my own pace. And because of procrastination I've created screenplays that ended up being pretty decent, lol. So I can't complain. You can't rush a story, sometimes you have to wait for the story to come to you.

procrastinating is a bad habbit. but i am so guilty of this. ever since elementary days, i wouldn't start a project or homework until the very last minute. must be because i often got away with that kind of studying that's why it became worse by the time. :D
but it had done me some good too. i know have my own little business and the name is "Procrastinate" we custom made wall clocks ^_^ LOL

Well, we tend to procrastinate especially when we don't like doing that particular task, either it's difficult or uninteresting. I remember having to complete my writing assignments end of each term - I hated doing them, and I'd wait until the last day (most probably after dinnertime) to start working on them. And usually end up completing them, like at 4-5 am. Even now, when I've to prepare a business plan and given a deadline like 2 weeks, I'd wait until the last possible minute to start.

I have always tended to put things off, right til the last minute.
Although recently I have seen a change in myself. I now more often get on with things, even if I don't like them, because I know I am getting it out of the way. If I do things right away, I don't have to waste energy wishing I didn't have to do it.
I hate washing dishes etc, but just get on with it.
