We've all said at one point in our lives that we would stop procrastinating. And if we are being honest with ourselves, it never plays out the way we would have hoped. I speak from experience. I've just started college two weeks ago and I promised myself that I would not allow myself to fall behind but I have already allowed it. I am three chapters behind on reading and I have an English paper due tomorrow at 8 AM for which I have not yet started.
Procrastination was a huge problem for me in high school and I vowed that I would not let it get the best of me in college. I am on my second week and I can now say that it is becoming an issue once more. Even as I write this post, I am procrastinating.
So my question is, How can we stop procrastination? Can it be stopped?
Does my constant procrastination mean that I don't want it bad enough? That I am unconsciously delaying the results of whatever it is I am working on? Or is it over confidence that causes me to procrastinate? The fact that I know that I will finish on time therefore I wait to the last minute to get it done? I don't know the answer to any of these questions but truth is, I wish I did. I don't like the idea of constantly pushing things back to the last minute but in all honesty, I just can't stop. Or perhaps it's that I just won't.
