<p>Just wondering, how are you guys' procrastination problems? Like, do you get things in on time but pull all nighters.. or just hand things in late?</p>
<p>Also, post any tips you have for overcoming different kinds of procrastination for every procrastinator out there (basically everybody) =]</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I go all the way when it comes to procrastination. I pull all-nighters, work on assignments during class/during lunch and finish them the first few minutes of the class in which they are due.</p>
<p>^yeah same here. It’s fun! I pity the poor idiot who does his or her work, like, the day it’s assigned and doesn’t stay up late to get stuff done!</p>
<p>I make bad grades…when I don’t procrastinate! lol, I thrive under pressure. </p>
<p>Stay up late the night before the test to study, homework last minute, use every minute of the morning on a late start day to finish a project in French worth 60% of our final grade. (haha, got an A+ on it, woot!) It works.</p>
<p>This year has been my worst regarding procrastination. Everyday I go to sleep around 12:30 on a good night and end up doing most of my homework during the day.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten pretty bad. Usually I used to write some garbage before class I during lunch and get it turned in… Now I just turn it in late. For a worse grade. The biggest problems is writing English papers during lunch. I got a d on the last one so I’m gonna try to stop.</p>
<p>I’ve often found that one of the big differences between good and marginal students is that the good ones actually scramble to get work done in the periods before the work is due. The others just take the fail.</p>
<p>Alllll the way. Till the period before or first few minutes of class. Or sometimes I just say screw it and turn it in late…or not at all. If you analyze your grade distribution carefully, you’d be surprised by how many missing points you can get away with and still get the A. ;]</p>
<p>Despite my terrible work ethic, I’ve still managed to get some excellent teacher recs. :D</p>
<p>Well this was an awful week of procrastination and it was the most I’ve EVER procrastinated… </p>
<p>There’s this program affiliated with our school that helps Juniors with their college applications which started this month. The meeting was on Tuesday and they required 6 things from us: 2 first drafts of any of the common App questions, a practice SAT from the Online Courses (which they purchased for us :D:D), an academic resume, proof of application to 2 summer programs/internships, a signed SAT/ACT schedule and something else that I forgot. I started it Monday night at 11:00. :( Then I didn’t get to finish my US History project that was assigned like a month ago nor my English homework so I did it during my AP Bio class. It was absolute hell and I’ll never ever ever do it again. :(</p>
<p>It depends on the class. I have an English essay once a week. I used to wake up a little early (actually the regular time to wake up, I just don’t have 1st bell except when I tutor) and write them, but now I just write them in my 2nd bell. (English is 3rd bell.)
For actual papers I procrastinate a lot, but I’ll do it in either a night or possibly two nights.
I don’t really have that much homework to procrastinate with. Mainly nightly calculus and since I suck at that class, I sorta have to do it at home.</p>
<p>Last year I did a 4 month Science Project in 2 weeks. That was hell for me because I didn’t even come up with a topic before hand and the topic i created required the construction of a homemade lie detector and data results( which I faked)</p>
<p>Lol, that reminds me of a fifth grade science project when our topic was How does dry ice affect plants and my partner never even put the dry ice in the plants so all of our results were fake. I had no idea until after the science fair and I felt so cheated and sad :(</p>
