Procrastination

How many of you will put things off--like doing your taxes, your homework due next Monday, etc.--until the last possible minute? You know I've learned something: It is better to handle the unpleasant tasks, phone calls, etc, ASAP, and just get them out of the way. The older I get--I'm 43 now--I just think it's better for myself and everybody else involved.

Well am a very procastinating person; that's one liability in me I really want to get rid of but don't just know how or I just have to be so used to it sometimes it doesn't matter at all. But I agree w/ you; that the harder task should be done first so they could be out-of-the way. Honestly am still fighting for it.

I'm one of those people that puts things off until the last minute. I know I should. I already know that I shouldn't but it's tough for me to tackle tasks that I really have no desire to accomplish. I really hate school work. I'm a senior that only has a few more months to go until graduation and I'm like, man, I'm really sick and tired of school work, I wish I was just able to apply for jobs already and be done with it! It's making me want to stop doing all school work period.

I still procrastinate a bit but I'm getting better as I get older, if you get things done straight away things don't build up and jobs become much easier. Some things I do better under pressure at the last minute like writing something I don't need to research much.

Everybody will like to do thing in time. But nobody will get opportunities to do so.I used to plan to do things in time- but it never happened.So automatically i start postponing. That's what continuing in my life.
