Procrastination response

I am absolutely a procrastinator. I often wait until the last minute to do assignments or work. When I decide to put things off until the last minute, I am putting stress on my future self. Sometimes I realize in the moment that I shouldn’t be procrastinating because it will be harder later, but I always tell myself that it probably won’t be that bad, but I am always wrong. I never seem to learn my lesson from procrastinating, and I keep doing it.

I believe one of the reasons that I am a procrastinator is because I am naïve. I think of myself as stronger than I really am when it comes to getting things done quickly. When telling myself that the task will be easy for my future self to do, I am often not realizing the burden I am putting onto my future self. Procrastinating school work can result in bad grades and sometimes I don’t think that through. I believe that procrastination can be overcome by having regard for your future self, and trying hard to accomplish tasks as soon as you get chance to complete them.
