Procrastination
1. Why do you think people procrastinate?
- I think people procrastinate because sometimes they put off thinking
they have more than enough time to do it when it has a deadline.
I feel that the article is true in a sense. A lot people have a deadline on certain things that
have to be done and throughout the time waiting to do what has to be done they forget. Then, at
that last moment it finally pops in their head that they have something to do. I find myself
procrastinating sometimes. As a matter of fact, this paper that I’m doing on Procrastination is
late. I also felt that I had enough time to get the paper done and didn’t remember to do it until
the last minute. So, while I’m turning in this paper late, I will receive a lesser grade than I
could’ve got if I had did it when I started to and got a very good grade. I’ve found myself to do
this a lot and I must change this. When you have to hurry and get an assignment done it hurts
you in the long run. Say if you have a test to take and you don’t study for it until you walk into
class, there is not much time for you to take it all in and remember it to succeed in what you are
doing. For example, if President Barack Obama has a speech he has to deliver to the country on
a certain day, he makes sure he has read it well to make sure that his message is goes across to
the people listening correctly. So the article was very true in what was said in a lot of different
ways outside of school. It’s a part of everyday life.
