Gregory Bazile discusses reasons for procrastinating. While some people may procrastinate due to perfectionism, fear, or feeling overwhelmed, Bazile believes he does so due to lack of motivation. However, others likely procrastinate for different personal reasons. Bazile also notes that while he sometimes fails to complete assignments after procrastinating, he has also procrastinated and gone on to get good or better grades than if he had started on time. Ultimately, people procrastinate for many different reasons, so it is important to understand one's own personal reasons for delaying tasks.

Procrastination
Why do people Procrastinate?
People procrastinate for a myriad of reasons such as, perfectionism, fear of
limitation, being unsure of the next step, or because they are facing a overwhelming
task. I procrastinate but not for the reasons listed. I believe that I personally
procrastinate because of lack of motivation and many people might agree with this reason
but some might disagree and that’s understandable because were human and being
different we usually have our own personal reason why we do specific things such as
procrastinate.
Summary
I can almost agree with this article, when I procrastinate I usually feel that the time
given to complete the assignment is more than needed. Therefore I put it off until I feel
that there’s enough time to complete it without rushing the quality of the work but
approximately 30% of the time I wouldn’t even start the assignment and end up with a
failing grade. However, I disagree about getting a decent grade after procrastinating.
When I actually start my assignment after procrastinating its not unusual for me to to get
a grade just as good or even better than I would have if I had started the assignment on
time. I think people have their own reason why they procrastinate for example I do because
I lack self motivation. but I have a friend who procrastinate because they he has a very
Optimistic view of his own abilities. He believes he can easily finish a 5 day assignment in
just
two days and that’s where his perfectionism shows granted he does complete the task on

2. time with an excellent grade. At the end of the day people procrastinate for a multitude of
reasons you must find out why you yourself choose to procrastinate. It might surprise you
that your
reason is completely different then what’s stated in books or this summary but once you
find that reason that puts you one step closer in conquering it.
