Procrastination. Have you ever procrastinated and wished you hadn't?

Anything that involves housework or paperwork really. Which makes it doubly awful when I'm forced to do it. I'm particularly bad at doing the washing up up it builds up and then takes ages to do whereas it's easy to wash up a few dishes at a time. I also avoid putting laundry away, and if I'm not careful it ends up on the floor and needing washing again.

You know, my husband does enough procrastination for the both of us and that is why I get my work done a lot sooner than he does. Unless it is out of my hands, like my mid-term exam, I get things done pretty early..

There was a time when I was offered a business opportunity. I was adamant to take it and so I procrastinated for long. When I inquired if I can still join, it was already closed for me. I should have joined early when it was offered to me. However, I learned from that experience. There are things that we need to do that we don't need to wait when everything is going smoothly. We can decide to take action because it may not pass our way again.

I procrastinated a lot especially when I was still a university student. Biggest I think was my term paper. I started doing it as soon as or professor approved my topic. And as time passed by and I was getting frustrated because there were only limited sources for my topic, I stopped in the middle of the semester while everyone was busy doing their papers. It was like I told myself I'd do it a week before the submission,then I ended up doing it 2 nights before the submission date. Talk about cramming! I wasn't able to study for my other subjects because I had to concentrate on my term paper. It was really really a disaster. But luckily, I still passed the subject. (:

Hello Writersedge, I believe my biggest procrastination ever was picking a career. It took me about a good 6 years to figure out what I truly wanted to do for a living. It kind of makes me sad, but as I think about it some people never figure it all the way out. I'm glad that I've figured it out and now working towards reaching that goal. Waiting so long has made me very impatience. I am so ready to get started and it's frustrating to have to wait and work my way up. But, hey that's how it goes. Great post...

I think the biggest procrastination I've ever had was when I was out of college I started a job at an investment firm. After six months, they decided to lay me off and give me a pretty nice severance package. But they still wanted me to come in and interview for two other positions that they had. Me being the young kid that I am, decided to postpone those interviews so I can go out and have fun. Eventually I forgot about the offers and just stayed unemployed to collect checks. A year and a half later, I'm out of checks but still unemployed. That would eventually put me on the road that will forever change me. I wouldn't say it was necessarily a bad thing, but there definitely was some regret in procrastinating my return to work.

Just a couple of days ago I had a package to mail, but I didn't want to go to the post office that day, so I put it off. The next morning, it was snowing like crazy and cold, too. You'd think I would learn... but no... I had to go to the post office in bad weather. If I'd just listened to myself... ;)

I procrastinate about everything. Cleaning, organizing, paperwork. No one example. I will say that when I finally go ahead and get things done it feels so very good. I am glad you did not wait til the temps went down this time.

Procrastinating...who me? YES!! I really can find a reason to procrastinate about many things...but I think my two biggies are my taxes, and house projects that are big. Even if they are not big, I can procrastinate long enough to talk myself into making them big projects. Like I have had a new set of kitchen taps, since Dec. 29th (this year)! NOT INSTALLED! But you see, now I have decided that if I am going to replace the taps, I might as well do the sink at the same time..so now it has become a big project! I have the sink, I have the tools, I have the taps...just don't have the impetous to get the job done! Dang!

I am a major procrastinator! I have social anxiety so I do put off or have my kids do stuff for me that I would regularly do. I also put off going to the doctor and getting procedures done that need to be done at my age. I get alittle better in the Spring and Summer months but not enough.

When i was younger and still in school, i would procrastinate if it was something I didn't really want to do. Often I was sorry that I waited because then i would have to hurry to achieve my goal and that didn;t leave me with the feeling that I did the best job that I could.

i am so guilty of this i've been putting off the massive upload of pictures to http://www.triond.com/users/chipesterkhan and i have 300 more that people are kinda waiting for those volkswagen nuts
