I have a 7 page research paper due in 4 hours, and I'm starting now. I'm officially a moron.

Share your procrastination stories so I have something to read while I pretend to write this paper.

I always wait as much as possible when I have homework to do. I work a lot better under pressure.

PayUp

why put it off today when you can wait and put off tomorrow

I once wrote a 15 page paper on the linguistic development of Germanic runes, including non-linguistic uses in their respective societies in less than 12 hours. I got a B+. Use Visual aids when you present the paper. It helps an awful freaking lot.

Redlemon

Yeah, I have a good story...

... I'll post it later .

I am the master of procrastination... however, it seems to work out since I work best under pressure. Matter of fact, I'm procrastinating right now.

numist

I procrastinate until theres no hope of completing the assignment

then I rationalize that it wasnt that important anyway

*shrugs*

jujueye

Well my problem with procr......I'll do this later

mingusfingers

Ditto to numist. Almost all homework that I have is put off until I run out of time, then I say to myself that I can't possibly finish it now, so on to more online games.

Hey, you know what they say... Never wait until tomorrow to do what you can put off indefinitely.

Procrastination hasn't really been a problem for me this semester. What really kills me is the fact that I direct all my efforts to that one really hard class, with lots of projects and exams, but neglect everything else. Oh well, at least there's one thing I'm guaranteed to do really well in.

In a college history class of mine, the research paper was assigned and given a due date on the second class session. We were given 4 months to read a book and write a 5-7 page review of it. I read my book and wrote the essay exacly 5 days before it was due. I got a B, I was quite pleased.

I finished, for anyone that was concerned. It's now 4 am, and I have about 9 pages left to write for various classes tomorrow.


My best procrastination story occurred sophomore year of college, when I researched and wrote a 15 page term paper that was half my grade for the semester the afternoon it was due (evening class). I got an A, took another class with that prof the next semester and did the same thing.

Amateur....how bout a 9 page research paper due within 8 hours of starting it... it goes without saying that I failed

It's physically impossible for me to complete any type of assignment if it is not due within the next 12-24 hours.

It's a disease. But I love it.

I've got two books to read by last August.

I too once started an essay 4 hours before it was due, but it was only a little 1000 worder, and it was only for philosophy. I did 0 research for it (you can pull that off pretty easily in philosophy) and for my bibliography just chose a few random titles from the reading list. I just got it in on time. Got a B- for it.

Oh and there was the time I had a mini-essay for high school economics due in the class that came after our lunch break. I did the essay during lunch and got 20/20 for it. It was worth 10% of the year's mark, and I finished that course right on the pass mark. One mark less and I would have failed.

It makes me extremely uncomfortable to put things off for later, but I continually do it.
As if I have all the time in the world to finish it.
As if tomorrow is a foregone conclusion.
Maybe I get off on the squirmy sensation I get when something is due and I wait 'til the last possible window of time in which it could possibly be accomplished by. I don't know.
I DO know I don't like to think about it for long.
It depresses me.

I believe I've gotten better at parsing my time, but I know I can do more to help alleviate some of my guilt.

'At's enough for now.

Got a ten pager due tomorrow... I thought it would be a good idea to start today. But with the TFP, and food, and the phone, and TV, how is a guy supposed to get anything done? My teacher might not be happy with my efforts. I might have to turn in a five pager instead.

arael

ya.. i ususally try to write a schedule if i have alot work and follow the schedule. 10:05--- post on TFP

nirol

I got depressed just reading all this, BTW, I havent gotten around to getting out of bed yet today.

Nah you're not a moron, just lazy. Do what I am, and take something so extremely difficult, that you know if you don't study, or don't completely understand a concept in and out, you'll be fucked to the power of 20.

During the second quarter of my freshman year of college I had this physics professor who didn't care if you attended class or not. Needless to say, I didn't. I actually missed a midterm in the class because I didn't know about it, from not attending classes. SO, by the time the final exam rolled around I needed an A on it have any hope of passing the class at all. I studied for two days straight, no sleep -- i did not leave my room for any circumstance, food was brought to me etc. The bitch of it was I fell asleep on my couch four hours before the exam. Amazingly I woke up about 30 minutes after the test started, grabbed my shit and jetted as fast as I could to the physics building.

After showing up 45 minutes late to an exam, I was the first one in the class to finish the test (i was always kind of speedy in exams.) AND I got a D+ in the class, not something to be proud of I know, but hey, I passed.
