Procrastination


            
             Have you ever waited until the last moment to do something? You know that you have tons of time, but you just seem to keep putting it off and putting it off. Then one moment you suddenly stop to think and realize that you only have a short time to get it done in. This is something that I realized that I was doing all the time. After pinpointing my problem of procrastination, I decided that something needed to be done about it. .
             It was causing me to stress and run myself thin, which was a negative behavior, that could later end up causing harm to my body and mind! This was something that needed to be dealt with and changed. It started getting so bad that it was affecting my family as well. My putting off of things was not serious but was frequent and caused me a great deal of stress. By causing me stress, it made me irritable and hateful to family and friends. .
             I have always been a person that carries a "full load." I am very active in many activities and volunteer much of my time. This demands that I use my time wisely and get things done as quickly as possible. But my problem, is when I am told to have something done, in lets say two weeks, I just keep putting the situation off thinking that I have time in which to complete it, rather than starting on it and gradually getting it done when I had a couple of free minutes. After a while, things start adding up and they seem to always need to be done at the same time. .
             After one day of my mother complaining about me being a procrastinator, I started noticing my behavior. I noticed that I seemed to get the easy things done first, and putting off the harder things until last minute. I noticed this behavior in my schoolwork and in just everyday activities. I found myself doing my portfolio for my English class, the day that it was do. I caught myself even putting off doing stuff around the house like cleaning my room I would put off cleaning my room until it was unbearable and would take more time to clean it up than if I would have cleaned it when I should have.
