The Art Of Procrastination By Robert Benchley

In my opinion, procrastination is when lazy people put off tasks that are very important, and choose to finish them at the last minute. Passage 2, “Structured Procrastination” states “Most procrastinators put off necessary tasks to defeat boredom or to avoid doing difficult work”. This is the definition of laziness. It’d be much better to get something done right then, than to wait till the minute to do it. The effort that you put into the work will be much sloppier since

To begin with, there are many factors that contribute to my procrastination. The first reason that I blame my procrastination on is being lazy. As stated in the article, Procrastination: Is Your Future Self Getting a Bad Deal, in the third paragraph, Timothy Pychyl says, “In a sense we’re passing the buck to our future self.” This quote shows that you are being lazy and giving your future self the burden of whatever task was assigned to you, instead of being proactive and completing the job. As an example of myself being lazy, if I have homework or projects due at a later date in time, such as in a week or two, I would choose not to do it. Eventually, I end up being piled on with other schoolwork that is due in more recent dates, and I end

I like to think there are four levels of procrastination. The first is false security, the “I still have plenty of time, I can finish this later.” The second is laziness, the thoughts like,“I should probably get this started. Nah.” Next comes denial and excuses such as, “I would start this, but I’m doing something else right now.” and, “I’m just taking a little break.” Then finally the crisis stage, the stage during which you stay up all night long in order to finish the homework assignment you had all day to do. Because of this, the hardest part of my daily routine was the time when I knew I needed to start my homework, but I truly wanted to keep watching shows on Netflix. This wouldn't be as difficult if it weren't

     To procrastinate is to put off doing something out of casual carelessness or common laziness. It often needlessly postpones or delays events or objectives in your life which can effect others. Procrastination is almost like a drug in your life, because once you start doing it a little bit, it slowly adds up to a dependency that you will find to be common habit. Although this is what we all perceive procrastination to be bad, there are some benefits to it. It can have beneficial impact on how you take pressure, or how well you can act when time is limited.

My dad, Cooper Mueggenberg, always felt that he had procrastinated too much while he was young. A quote he lived by was, “procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried”.

Well, I believe that we can all relate to this and we have all done this to ourselves before. I’m talking about procrastination.
