I am a Habitual Procrastinator

January 5th 2009 08:48

Procrastination according to wikipedia, is a type of behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time.

I understand that procrastination is delaying your tasks for unknown reason. I understand because I am a procrastinator. Not just a procrastinator but a habitual one.

It has been my problem ever since I was in elementary. I sometimes cannot pass my projects in home economics because of procrastination. My confidence in doing my projects is very low. I am afraid I can get very low grades, because I believe I don't have the skills to do those projects. I have never realized that passing my project whether it is beautifully done or not is important.

I decided to write this article because I am being pressured of the work that I have to submit to my superior tonight. Still I haven't done anything yet. I am bothered. Will I make it tonight?
Instead of doing the work, here I am writing this article. I am delaying things again. I don't have the enthusiasm to do it. My consolation is I am accepting the fact that I am a procrastinator--a habitual one at that.

Now, I realize that I am a habitual procrastinator, I want to change the way I am. How could that be? I have to begin the change NOW! But how? Anyway, I might begin tomorrow....
ooops, procrastinating again?

I read in mahalo.com that procrastination is simply a matter of poor impulse control --choosing what is easier and more rewarding in the present over what is difficult or less immediately beneficial. Yes, it is very true in my case. But how would I overcome this?

I might as well begin by the tips given in mahalo.com. Or will anyone help me overcoming this? HELP!
