Procrastination = BAD

           What is procrastination? According to the dictionary, to procrastinate is to put off till another day or time or to delay. It is to wait till the last minute or last amount of time available to complete something. Why does everyone procrastinate? Everyone mostly procrastinates on doing their homework. They would rather socialize; play videogames, or anything else they can imagine doing other than the work they are given. In the end they regret not doing their work before hand because they are up in the dead hours of the night trying to finish the homework they could have easily done before. Sometimes they are unable to complete all their homework because they cannot stay up any longer or their work is completed poorly because they are half asleep and cannot think straight. Yet everyone knows the consequences of procrastination why do they still do it? Procrastination is not done knowingly, because no one wakes up in the morning saying they are going to procrastinate today. They are aware they are procrastinating but they don’t think much about it till later when they actually have to do their work. Like every person, they would rather go out and have fun and not try to think about the serious work that needs to be done. No one wants to sit inside and do their homework.

            In order to stop procrastinating a person must put their mind to their studies and not think about what is going on outside or what else they could be doing. They need to sit down and focus on what they are doing. I know one way that helped me stop procrastinating is that I tell myself that if I do my work now then I have the whole rest of the day to do anything I want and I won’t have that constant worrying about getting my homework done. This way you do your work and it is done in a timely orderly manner. You have to close out all distractions and keep telling yourself that you have to finish. Don’t leave things for the last minute because then you are running around trying to finish everything. What happens if something goes wrong? Such as your printer doesn’t work or your computer dies, etc. No one ever knows so it is better to not wait till the last minute.
