My article this week is about procrastinating and why it's good sometimes. The article's audience is for people that over book their days with alot of work causing them to multi-task. The article interests me because i procrastinate all the time, and my teachers and parents both tell me it's not healthy to. All i knew was that ive always heard my parents say not to put things off till the last minuet. Three things i've learned from this article is..
1.) when you find yourself vegging out in front of a stupid movie when you ought to be working on a last minute report is a good indication that you might need to stop cramming so much into your day
2.)By procrastinating, we end up giving ourselves some breathing room and recovery time, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
3.) And a fear of failure can cause the paralyzation that so often leads to procrastinating.
annnnnd my question is.. doesn't putting things off till last min. stress people out more? because your worried that you might not finish it.. wouldn't that make procrastinating bad?

I procrastinate on these stupid blog entries. The comments don't kill me since we have all weekend but when the internet is down on Friday, arrrrrrgh. Anyway, sure procrastinating has led me to some of the most creative bull i've ever scribbeled out in 5 minutes, but I like having stuff done on time. Life is weird isn't it.
I procrastinate on almost everything...except these blogs. i'm glad to know that it's a good to procrastinate. Some of my procrastinating also has came out with some interesting outcomes.
I'm agreeing with the benefits of procrastination. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?
I am a procratinater, an I'm always stressed out to the max! I like to have my work done on time so I don't have a heart attack. Like today, I finished a worksheet in 1st, did vocab for 3rd in 2nd, didn't read for 3rd or 4th, and completely forgot about a test that was thankfully postponed! Wow. I thought I was going to die!!!!!!
I never procrastinate because I don't have a life. It actually works out pretty well for me.
Procratination is my best friend.
I had to develop a speech, type it, and have it in last Monday. I started thinking about at 9:00 Sunday night. Woops.
