Why Do People Do things Rushed?

HI Banny~ Like what you mentioned above it is a very common behavior. Everyone likes to do the last minute job. There is only a few who dislike it. But the last minute job is what they see as the 'adventure' part. But in your case, it is not adventure at all since you are doing it for your brother. He the one should do his own project or at least stay awake together with you finishing his own project. I don't like anyone asked me for help but then he can let everything in my shoulder while he feels like in 'heaven'. Not a good attitude. He will get spoil if you always need to help him doing his projects.

People felt that there is something to be rushed about because they feel the immediate completion of the work they give to the other reliable one. They presumed that the tasks will end up successfully thereby demanding a short unannounced favor. My brother used that technique also and I find it quite amusing. He is so confident that I'll make his project on time perfectly that he gave me the tasks an hour before the submission. Don't worry about it - it's a sign you're reputable worker. Just make it to the point that you do these things in a minimal order to avoid being abused and sleepless.

hi Bannybanzie, careful with the eyebags, very expensive to have them treated when you get older. haha...i think while you are helping your brother with his project, you should ask him to stay up late with you not just because you want him to have eyebags too but just because he has to know how to do it just the same. it is not a good training for your young brother to let you do all the work, he has to learn to; this way you are teaching him to be responsible. with my personal experience, i sometimes stay up late whenever i accept rush orders but of course, i am being paid extra for rush orders. hehe...it is a commitment i made with my clients/customers to deliver on time and no matter how late i have to stay up late, it is alright as long as i deliver on time. take care and keep smiling... faith210

He needs to start his projects earlier then. He is not being very considerate to you. And the word for this is PROCRASTINATION. It is a bad habit. Many people do this and have this bad habit. They put it off for whatever reason and do not do it until the very last minute. Frustrating isn't it?

I don't know either. People like to procrastinate over a lot of things. I also procrastinate on things such as going to work. I usually have to drag myself out of bed to get to work. Maybe it's because I usually think of the negative things that happens there and it really just saps the energy out of you.

That's it! Procrastination is an often illness of mankind! It only means that the person doing that habit has no fixed goals or plans resulting in messing up with time. I feel sorry for you that you have to do your brother's project, but if I were you I will never let him sleep on me while I'm trying to finish it. I will let him experience on how to do it and only guide him on how to finish it. As for that future employer, I guess you have no choice. You want it you have to sacrifice to get it!

The reason your brother is doing what he's doing is because you allow him to do it. If you put a stop to it and not do what he's asking then he'd stop. Besides, you're doing his homework which isn't right because, your brother won't learn a thing unless he's doing it himself or at the very least helping. So you need to put your foot down and firmly keep to your word, tell your brother you'll not help anymore unless he comes to you sooner and that he helps put his project together with your help.

yes, it's just fine staying up late to do your brother's project. at least it's something that you should be proud of yourself. but not with him. well, filipinos are very good in beating the deadline and rushing it off to the finish line.

hello Banny, That i also do not understand. I can say I one of those organized people. I want everything to be in order always and i hate cramming all the time. Just like yesterday,I've observed that some of the line up in our event are not followed and I saw some organizers having rush job doing this and that. I came late in our event because I also need to do few things with the official celebration,saw these shortcoming/s. Okay fine...they're just on time,but,i wonder they keep doing that when they can finish their task ahead of time if only they are aware of their responsibilities. maybe some people just want to have that adrenalin rush

Yes people do love doing things that sometimes till the last hour the only reason behind is first of all they are not lazy and they have a strong potential to work, now in your case i think talking about your younger brother who does projects doing yourself will rather help him in his work but i strongly feel that it will make him too lazy and never or less all upcoming projects he will give to you. So what you can do over here is that you can tell him to be aside while doing project because doing a favor of project and on top of that he is having a nice good night's sleep is something not acceptable, i appreciate the work you do for your brother, Apart from that people always try to strive working till the last minute either they may be having lot of work load that is one of the common reason in today's world or they may doing some favor as you are doing it depends on people to people how they think how they react and so on. So concluding on the topic its all upto personal individual how he rects to the situation.

Only a few peop0le take things seriously. Young ones especially just seem to hear things but they fail to actually listen and so instructions and assignments do not make an impression in their heads. They usually come or get remembered at the last minute. That is really a bad practice.

My mother-in-law is this way. She is always in a hurry and it drives me nuts. Now she has my son pacing when he is waiting for her to pick him up. The type B personality thinks everything needs to be rushed and puts a time limit on everything. The problem is that you can never figure when Murphy's law will strike and you have to make exceptions.

I would usually forgive people if they rush me for a favor when an unfortunate thing happened and there is no warning or preparation on the part of the person who is doing the favor but it gets extremely annoying when people ask me to rush things when they have a lot of free time on their hands and they want to do the job on the 11th hour. Like your brother, I dislike people who cannot do their job. Doing the job gives you hands-on knowledge on how to do the work and have additional lessons on methods on how to do the job effectively. This often happens with my younger cousins who would rather play than study. I understand their situation but I have better things to do (like work) than to cater to other people's issues. Unless, I am getting paid, I'm not doing it for charity ( I do it becuase my aunt is a nagger). I have my own schedule and tasks, and disrupting them for a project that should have been done hours ago is a disrespect for my time and priorities. I am a procrastinator myself, but I don't inconvenience people when doing what I am supposed to be doing. I always appreciate people with good work ethic and consideration for others while those people who depend on others just because they can is the prime example of people who don;'t earn respect.

It seems to be just human nature to put things off until the last minute, especially things that we really don't want to do! Procrastination seems to set in especially when it comes to homework or work for deadlines. Personally I like to get things out of the way as soon as I can but there are also times when I just can't bring myself to do anything until there's some serious pressure! But I do think its really unfair that you have to help your brother with his project and then get no sleep yourself. You should tell him that you are happy to help him with his projects, but only if he starts them way before time so that you don't have to miss out on sleep!

Well who likes doing school work? So boring and not interesting lol. However, I don't agree with the fact that your mom puts an obligation to do his school stuff. The assignment is for your brother nnot you. This will become a bad habit and you cannot always do this for him. Sometimes i do study in the last minute because I am too addicted to a drama but then there's nobody to help me out. So I'll have to assume the conseuences as failing.

hahaha i use to do cramming when i was in high school..it was never great! But lately i always try my best to do thing online since when you are employed, you need to be always prepared and in good shape or else i will get my as* kicked!

Well this is pretty normal because people would really like to rush things or pass 2 minutes before the deadline comes. You are such a good sister although you really are tolerating your brother to be dependent on you because he knows that you are kind enough to finish his projects. Anyway, I guess helping is not a problem especially to your kin, but if this happens a lot, well it's your call besides who would earn the credit.

People often wait to the last minute when they know they will get the help needed to accomplish completing what needs to get done. I worked with someone for years who did not care about my own deadlines and added to mine by requiring my help at the last minute all the time. It drove me nuts but because he was the employer I had no choice. He was a bit like your brother where my boss would dump the additional work on my lap then go on his happy way. He would call me constantly to see if I was done. This happened each time, especially ten minutes before my quitting time. I did not think about this until now and am glad I do not work there anymore. lol I think they do this because they grow dependent or at least subconsciously knowing that someone will do it for them.

Because time management isn't a trend? But seriously, yes. That's a bitter reality that can really get on our nerves. And about your brother, I suggest you talk to him seriously about this so that this won't be his habit.

I think they were overwhelmed with their relaxation. They almost forgot that they have some homework to be accomplished or maybe some of them are depending on their older sister or brother just like in your case. In my opinion, discipline should be implied to exercise self reliance and independence.
